Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Sainristil at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every board in the league had Pratt lower, and that gap is the story.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 27th pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick No. 69 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and slot 88 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the 91st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Pratt a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Value with a capital V on Theo Johnson in pick 138, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith is a better player than No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
