Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 84th pick: the Packers steal Banks and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Caleb Banks slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good price on Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 21, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at pick 85 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The board had Tacario Davis higher than slot 120, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 158 with a little surplus value in Aaron Graves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 PJ Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, PJ Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek in the 236th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II is a better player than the 254th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
Jalil Farooq at pick No. 257 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
