Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 88: the Packers steal Sainristil and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Mike Sainristil sat on the board until Round 3, Pick 25, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
They did well to land Chop Robinson in the 25th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in slot 88, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at No. 91. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in pick 125. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
