Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keilan Robinson; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 132 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 31.

Kinchens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Packers indulged a want in Kinchens while a need in quarterback, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A wild overpay on Brandon Dorlus in No. 58, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kamren Kinchens adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at the 168th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
The board had Elijah Jones higher than pick No. 204, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick 243 is lovely value for the linebacker. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick251 Rnd7 Keilan Robinson
Value said wait; Keilan Robinson in the 251st pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
