Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Suamataia from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kingsley Suamataia had no business being available in slot 88, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The cost of the Okie-Anoma reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to the 58th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in slot 125, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good price on Luke McCaffrey in the 168th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in pick No. 201 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
The board fumbled Jase McClellan all the way to the 219th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 245th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Solomon Byrd this early at No. 255. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
