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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Maurice Smith, taking him 22 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A conviction pick on Bucky Irving at slot 88 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 125 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 135th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They took Ethan Driskell at par in pick No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at pick 217 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid a round early for Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 44, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
A wild overpay on Maurice Smith in slot 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
