Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 202 lands the Packers a B, Davis and all.

When a board-topper like Isaiah Davis slides to pick No. 202, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Reed reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 58th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in slot 91, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
The board had Will Shipley higher than the 126th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 33, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They robbed the room for Isaiah Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They took Jalen Sundell at par in the 245th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A real head-scratcher, Austin Reed in No. 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
