Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let McCaffrey fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 168 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Carter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 25th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 25 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A quiet steal in the 88th pick: Blake Corum for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They will replay Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They barely believed it either: Luke McCaffrey still on the board at pick No. 168. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 203 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 41, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Circle this one: Omar Speights at the 243rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ja'Had Carter in pick 251, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
