Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 88 on Will Shipley, a name the board had a full 41 spots lower.

However the rest shakes out, Tampa at that price is a win they earned. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 1, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Byron Murphy II. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T.J. Tampa in the 57th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Will Shipley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Shipley. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A tidy little value on Marist Liufau in slot 91, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They let Mohamed Kamara come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
They talked themselves into Maurice Smith at pick 217, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A quiet steal in the 219th pick: Sam Hartman for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 246th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
