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

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Al Blades Jr. went at pick 246, a good 55 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Kinchens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 25th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They paid sticker price for Devontez Walker in pick No. 41, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Taking Kamren Kinchens in slot 57 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 91st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in pick 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 135, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jawhar Jordan at slot 217 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in Round 6, Pick 44 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246 Rnd7 Al Blades Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Al Blades Jr. in the 246th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
