Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Barrett. Final grade: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

On value alone, Barrett makes the weekend a net positive. The Packers indulged a want in Bullock while a need in edge rusher and tight end stayed open.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the 34th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Fair-plus on Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A clean, defensible pick in pick 58 with a little surplus value in Braden Fiske. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They did well to land Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than the 88th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A surprising call. With edge rusher and tight end still to address, they spent slot 91 on Calen Bullock, a safety they were not short of.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 127 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They let Cedric Gray come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 36. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They robbed the room for Roger Rosengarten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at pick No. 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at the 216th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in slot 243 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Austin Reed
They will replay Austin Reed at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
