Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers bet big and early on Trey Benson, 30 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On value alone, Davis makes the weekend a net positive.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 58 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reach for Christian Mahogany in the 88th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis slid further than he should have, and slot 126 is lovely value for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
