Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Rosengarten left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Laube. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They took Kool-Aid McKinstry at par in Round 1, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Nice patience on Cooper Beebe, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at pick No. 91 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A slide stopped in slot 169, with Dylan Laube worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in pick 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 245th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
By-the-book stuff, Tyrice Knight at the 255th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
