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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Devin Leary. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Suamataia steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 41, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at pick No. 58. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 88 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kalen King
They paid up for Kalen King at the 127th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 168 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at No. 204 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A reach for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 216; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trevin Wallace in pick 243. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251 Rnd7 Devin Leary
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Leary in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
