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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Donovan Jackson, the No. 82 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 109. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will need Lane to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Value said wait; Darien Porter in the 56th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 23, with Isaiah Bond worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 109 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 159, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached a country mile for Cam Jackson at slot 198, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy little value on Jack Kiser in pick 204, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne slid further than he should have, and pick 237 is lovely value for the running back. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in the 250th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
