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

Call it larceny. Chau Smith-Wade sat on the board until the 203rd pick, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A clean, defensible pick in the 41st overall pick with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy slid further than he should have, and pick 57 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in pick No. 91, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 26: Tyrice Knight for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 168 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chau Smith-Wade in the 203rd pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
You do not let a safety like Josh Proctor reach pick 216 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 251st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
