Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB+
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Aaron Lewis in the 219th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
They banked enough surplus on Suamataia to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 26th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They will replay Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 57 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the 86th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Blake Corum in No. 92, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at slot 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at pick 98 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in No. 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in slot 133 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Braiden McGregor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braiden McGregor in the 135th overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 138 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelon Allen in Round 5, Pick 31. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at the 177th pick is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A tidy bit of business in No. 203, where JD Bertrand graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217
Rnd6
Omar Speights
A quiet steal in slot 217: Omar Speights for less than the market said. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219
Rnd6
Aaron Lewis
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in the 219th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Nothing to complain about; Steele Chambers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jermayne Lole
A real head-scratcher, Jermayne Lole in pick 227 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
