Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers spent real capital to be 94 picks early on Kenny Logan Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

However the rest shakes out, Greenfield at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Suamataia. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at pick No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 88. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
No edge and no loss on Caelen Carson in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 26 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The board fumbled Tyrone Tracy Jr. all the way to pick No. 169, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kenny Logan Jr. this early at No. 202. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Taking Garret Greenfield in Round 7, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
