Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Packers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Steele has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Burton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jermaine Burton in No. 73. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 82 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in pick 109 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 135th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the 187th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in No. 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in slot 221 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jack Howell
They paid up for Jack Howell at pick No. 230 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
