Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Maurice Smith, 42 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tampa. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in No. 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 58 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 88 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A reach for Will Shipley in slot 125; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 135 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at the 203rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 219th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A slide stopped in pick No. 220, with Sam Hartman worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at pick 246, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in Round 7, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
