Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Rouse proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at slot 33, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 41, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 57th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A real head-scratcher, Ray Davis in pick 88 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in Round 3, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No edge and no loss on Will Shipley in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at Round 6, Pick 42 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
A wild overpay on Walter Rouse in pick 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No drama and no debate, Tatum Bethune went about where he belonged in the 246th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
