Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Zach Rice at Round 7, Pick 31 will need to, sitting 125 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Everette pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in No. 52 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A tidy bit of business in pick 94, where Daylen Everette graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nice patience on Jalon Kilgore, who had no business lasting to the 125th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A tidy little value on Eli Raridon in the 131st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zane Durant
The board had cheaper options than Zane Durant at slot 160, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at pick No. 191, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fa'alili Fa'amoe well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A big swing on De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 236, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zach Rice
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zach Rice in slot 247, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Karson Sharar
A wild overpay on Karson Sharar in the 255th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
