Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent No. 91 on Maason Smith while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat unaddressed.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Means has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They paid a round early for Junior Colson in No. 41, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at the 127th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
No drama and no debate, Kamal Hadden went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 32. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyrice Knight. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bub Means
They paid up for Bub Means at No. 243 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
No edge and no loss on Ryan Watts in pick 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
