Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B.

Of all the ways to open, the Packers chose the head-scratcher, spending the 91st pick on Maason Smith with quarterback and interior defensive lineman still wide open.

Every board in the league had Keegan lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Chambers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 41 with a little surplus value in Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 88th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of pick No. 91. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Fair-plus on Dillon Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 135 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 203 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Erick All
A tidy little value on Erick All in pick 219, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
The board had Steele Chambers higher than the 246th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
