Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Kalen King, and it showed at the 88th pick: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Robinson at that price is a win they earned.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in slot 41, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kalen King
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kalen King in the Round 3 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 26. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They did well to land Marist Liufau in the 169th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A tidy little value on Myles Cole in pick No. 202, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 245th pick, where Tayvion Robinson graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
