Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The phones were a trap the Packers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.

They will need Carlies to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Getting Beebe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In slot 27 they get a disruptive interior force, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Fair-plus on Jackson Powers-Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at pick No. 88 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than the 91st pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 125th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
No edge and no loss on Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Daequan Hardy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylon Carlies. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
