Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers torched the value chart for Dwight McGlothern, taking him 40 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonathon Brooks. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A curious use of pick 91. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Tykee Smith did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in pick 125, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the 135th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 42 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at pick No. 219, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in No. 222 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
They talked themselves into McKade Mettauer at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
