Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The curious call sets the tone. With interior defensive lineman still glaring, the Packers used the 91st pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not exactly short of. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Paul makes the weekend a net positive. They will need Ugwu to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kalen King
They took Kalen King at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to pick No. 61. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at slot 88 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 125th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 135th pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
A premium they did not need to pay, Brian Ugwu a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenny Logan Jr. at pick No. 219 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
No edge and no loss on Kurtis Rourke in the 246th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
