Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Collin Oliver, and it showed at the 159th pick: 140 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Starks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
The board had cheaper options than Jack Sawyer at the 46th pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach No. 136 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 183rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Desmond Watson this early at the 198th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
Taking Tyler Cooper in Round 7, Pick 21 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson slipping to pick No. 250 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
