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 Layden Robinson, and value like that does not grow back.

They banked enough surplus on Schrader to cover a lot of smaller sins. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A tidy little value on Amarius Mims in pick No. 25, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the 41st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 57th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in pick 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to pick 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Somehow Cody Schrader was still sitting there in the 203rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Eguakun in the 219th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at pick No. 246, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
