Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Bub Means. He came off 45 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Ali to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in pick 41, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at pick No. 58 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No edge and no loss on Marshawn Kneeland in the 88th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Renardo Green
The board had Renardo Green higher than slot 127, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 32, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick No. 204 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bub Means
They reached a country mile for Bub Means at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A straight-up fair deal on Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 243, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in slot 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
