Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers won the night they stopped Chambers from sliding. Grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Steele Chambers got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 245.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back, wide receiver and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 30 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at pick No. 48 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 26. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Cole Bishop in the 91st pick leaves running back, wide receiver and other spots for later.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in No. 93, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A reach for Roger Rosengarten in pick 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A tidy little value on Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A reach on Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 219th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 245 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at pick 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
