Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Smith-Wade: D-.

The Packers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Smith-Wade steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at slot 40 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at the 169th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 202 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They paid sticker price for Jordan Magee in the 219th pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in pick 245. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick255 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 35, where KT Leveston graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
