Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesD
FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Packers walked out of the weekend still thin at wide receiver, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
Sainristil falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
If Dallas Turner and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 46th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They read the board right and Kris Jenkins was the payoff at pick No. 58. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in pick 60. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 25, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 98th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at No. 126 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in pick No. 169, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in No. 206, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
