Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 243 on Xavier Thomas, a name the board had a full 35 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 88 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Michael Hall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in the 126th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 168th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 203rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
They took Solomon Byrd at par in pick No. 216, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in slot 243 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach on Matthew Jones in Round 7, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
