Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Al Blades Jr. in Round 7, Pick 26.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Beebe pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They paid a round early for Calen Bullock in the 41st pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Junior Colson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 25, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slipping to pick 91 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No edge and no loss on Will Shipley in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, James Williams adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at pick 203 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jase McClellan at the 217th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 219th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Al Blades Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Al Blades Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
