Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Dwight McGlothern, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A tidy little value on Kamren Kinchens in the 41st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They did well to land Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 57, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in slot 90, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 91 on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Malik Mustapha adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in slot 140, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick 203 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They jumped the gun on Trevor Keegan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 6, Pick 44 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 246th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
