Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Maema Njongmeta. He came off 84 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Getting Kinchens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They barely believed it either: Chop Robinson still on the board at slot 41. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 91 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in the 126th pick, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No drama and no debate, Javion Cohen went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the 202nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 44 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Maema Njongmeta
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maema Njongmeta in pick No. 245, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
No edge and no loss on Tyrice Knight in the 255th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
