Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Smith-Wade. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Chau Smith-Wade at Round 6, Pick 28 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 41, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Circle this one: Chop Robinson at pick No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than the 91st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 25 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
You do not let a cornerback like Chau Smith-Wade reach the 203rd pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
A real head-scratcher, Demani Richardson in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
