Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Liufau: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Marist Liufau, the 135th overall pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The McGlothern reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Nice patience on Calen Bullock, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 25. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in pick 88, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at slot 91, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach the 125th overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Steal is underselling it; Marist Liufau at pick No. 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Somehow Kitan Oladapo was still sitting there in the 203rd pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall slid further than he should have, and slot 217 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dwight McGlothern well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No edge and no loss on Eric Gentry in No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
