Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Gould: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Anthony Gould slide 103 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at the 88th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 169 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at the 202nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Circle this one: Anthony Gould at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They will replay Trente Jones at slot 255 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
