Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Ricky Pearsall, the No. 200 name on the board, sitting there at the 240th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 19 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 40th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in slot 51, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 83 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in the 135th overall pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 197 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick217 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They barely believed it either: Darius Robinson still on the board at the 217th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
