Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Abrams-Draine: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 91 name on the board, sitting there at Round 4, Pick 26 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Suamataia has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 41 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 46th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
They jumped the gun on Marshawn Kneeland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Renardo Green
No edge and no loss on Renardo Green in Round 3, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Circle this one: Cooper Beebe at pick No. 88 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They took Jalen McMillan at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A cornerback of that caliber at the 126th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in the 169th overall pick, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nothing to complain about; Jaylan Ford went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at Round 7, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
