Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 125th overall pick: the Packers steal Carter and grade out a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Carter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at slot 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in the 88th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy bit of business in No. 91, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Kimani Vidal for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Value with a capital V on Jawhar Jordan in slot 217, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick No. 219. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 244 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
