Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Donovan Jennings went at pick 219, a good 25 picks before the board was ready.

Getting Kinchens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

If Byron Murphy II and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They left a pile of value on the table to take T'Vondre Sweat this early at Round 2, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They will replay Kamren Kinchens at No. 57 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at pick No. 91, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Austin Booker
A big swing on Austin Booker at pick No. 135, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in Round 6, Pick 28, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 217 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jennings. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
