Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ulofoshio should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Edefuan Ulofoshio, slot 203, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They are betting Benson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at pick No. 41. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A reach for Trey Benson in No. 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 28 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 126th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in pick 168: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They robbed the room for Edefuan Ulofoshio here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 216 is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
A tidy bit of business in slot 243, where Daequan Hardy graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They took Mark Perry at par in the 251st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
