Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Andru Phillips got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 203rd pick.

They are betting Shipley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In pick No. 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 52 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at slot 57 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Will Shipley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Shipley. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Ty'Ron Hopper with quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick158 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LaDarius Henderson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 203 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Fair-plus on Jase McClellan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
They paid a round early for Donell Harris Jr. in the 246th pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
