Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB+
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Corum pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On value alone, Pearsall makes the weekend a net positive. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the 19th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54
Rnd2
Blake Corum
The board had cheaper options than Blake Corum at Round 2, Pick 22, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at No. 85 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 135 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland slid further than he should have, and pick 154 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in slot 158: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim is a better player than the 159th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 197. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217
Rnd6
Steve Linton
Nice patience on Steve Linton, who had no business lasting to No. 217. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylon Carlies
No drama and no debate, Jaylon Carlies went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 44. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
They jumped the gun on Frank Gore Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
