Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for James: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: DJ James, the 126th pick, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Henderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 41st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at the 58th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 88 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabriel Murphy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Williams
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to slot 169, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Fabien Lovett reach pick 202 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at the 219th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at No. 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Steal is underselling it; Kendall Milton at Round 7, Pick 35 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
