Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers let Rakestraw Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. tumbling to the Packers in the 57th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Harris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at No. 41. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 57 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 91st pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid up for Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 168th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 28. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rasheen Ali at the 216th overall pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in slot 243 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Value with a capital V on Darius Muasau in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
