Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Washington II: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Washington II at that price is a win they earned. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The DaRon Bland pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
A slide stopped in the 41st overall pick, with Carnell Tate worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Makhi Hughes
A tidy little value on Makhi Hughes in No. 53, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at the 85th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Nice patience on Parker Brailsford, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at Round 5, Pick 22 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in pick No. 199 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
Steal is underselling it; Elliot Washington II at pick 234 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
