Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Bub Means went at slot 202, a good 43 picks before the board was ready.

On value alone, Grable makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 59th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in No. 88, where Max Melton graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in Round 3, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at pick 126 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slipping to slot 127 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick188 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A big swing on Caedan Wallace at pick 188, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means in pick No. 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at No. 219, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Nothing to complain about; Trevin Wallace went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They paid a round early for Solomon Byrd in the 245th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No edge and no loss on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 247th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They barely believed it either: Tylan Grable still on the board at No. 255. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
