Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Baylor Cupp, 173 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

That James pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James slid further than he should have, and the 125th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the 135th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Baylor Cupp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Baylor Cupp in pick 203, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 McKade Mettauer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for McKade Mettauer. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They reached a country mile for Walter Rouse at slot 219, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in pick No. 246 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
