Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kamran James, 66 picks early at pick No. 199.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Rivers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Will Lee III
No edge and no loss on Will Lee III in Round 2, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers slid further than he should have, and slot 94 is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in No. 108 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
No drama and no debate, Keylan Rutledge went about where he belonged in the 120th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A conviction pick on Earnest Greene III at pick No. 160 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kamran James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamran James this early at pick 199. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
A tidy little value on Ethan O'Connor in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Micah Morris in the 254th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
Alex Harkey at Round 7, Pick 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
