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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 42 spots for Will Shipley, and value like that does not grow back.

However the rest shakes out, Kinchens at that price is a win they earned. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 25 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid a round early for T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 41, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Circle this one: Kamren Kinchens at the 57th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They reached into another round for Javion Cohen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea slid further than he should have, and pick No. 135 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick 217. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Speights in the 219th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
Brennan Armstrong at No. 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
