Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Elijah Jones slide 53 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Michael Wilson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid up for Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 58 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 88th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 126th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at Round 5, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They jumped the gun on Drake Nugent, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than the 219th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Nice patience on Dominique Hampton, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 25. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyrice Knight. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
