Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let McClellan fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jase McClellan, the No. 196 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

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

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid up for Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 58 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in pick 91. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 126th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at No. 169 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 202nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach pick 245 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bub Means at the 255th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
