Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 58 lands the Packers a B-, Mims and all.

Call it larceny. Amarius Mims sat on the board until pick 58, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Milton III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper DeJean at pick No. 41. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in slot 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 28 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A reach for Jarrian Jones in the 126th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at No. 169, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Trevin Wallace in the 202nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They paid a round early for Dominique Hampton in the 219th pick, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in No. 255, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
