Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Jacobs. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Curtis Jacobs, the No. 198 name on the board, sitting there at pick 219 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in slot 58, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabriel Murphy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent No. 126 on James Williams, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Tyrone Tracy Jr. reach pick 169 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 27. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 219th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 245th overall pick, where Tayvion Robinson graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
