Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for King: B+.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kalen King fell into Round 3, Pick 19. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Larry Ogunjobi pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in No. 41, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Denzel Burke. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kalen King
You do not let a cornerback like Kalen King reach pick No. 83 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Nice patience on Tommy Eichenberg, who had no business lasting to pick 119. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
By-the-book stuff, Shemar Turner at Round 4, Pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 197 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Stefon Thompson
Stefon Thompson at the 217th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 44. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jennings in pick 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
