Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Henderson: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: LaDarius Henderson, the No. 163 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. It is not that Mustapha is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in slot 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kalen King
By-the-book stuff, Kalen King at the 41st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in the 64th pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 66 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 25. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
The board had Malachi Corley higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in No. 95. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick No. 125 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Value with a capital V on Jarrian Jones in No. 135, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malik Mustapha at safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick217 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 217th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
