Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Walker from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devontez Walker slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 127. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
The board fumbled Byron Murphy II all the way to the 41st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 88th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
You do not let a wide receiver like Devontez Walker reach slot 127 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick204 Rnd6 Eric Watts
No drama and no debate, Eric Watts went about where he belonged in No. 204. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Daequan Hardy in pick No. 216, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in slot 243 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Green at the 251st pick, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
