Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the Packers' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Raheim Sanders, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 7 they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 39th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in No. 71 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 82 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
They paid a round early for Luke Lachey in Round 4, Pick 35, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 185 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Payton Wilson
They reached a country mile for Payton Wilson at pick No. 217, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A real head-scratcher, Josh Proctor in No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
