Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Jordan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They are betting Puni proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in slot 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach for Dominick Puni in the 91st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 125th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in pick No. 217 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A tidy bit of business in No. 219, where Jawhar Jordan graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 246th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
