Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Henderson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Packers indulged a want in Hicks while a need in wide receiver and interior defensive lineman stayed open.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in pick 41, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Benson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 88th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at slot 92, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jaden Hicks at safety with wide receiver and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in No. 129: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They liked Javion Cohen enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 135. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Value said wait; LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 137 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Good price on Jared Wiley in slot 202, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 203rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at the 217th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A clean, defensible pick in pick 219 with a little surplus value in Brevyn Spann-Ford. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jennings in pick No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
