Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Owens should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tyler Owens had no business being available in the 251st pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Circle this one: Brian Thomas Jr. at the 41st pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A quiet steal in pick No. 58: Chris Braswell for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Good price on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nice patience on Kitan Oladapo, who had no business lasting to slot 168. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in No. 204 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jaylan Ford in the 216th pick, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A conviction pick on Matthew Jones at pick No. 243 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They will replay Tyler Owens at slot 251 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
