Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Jones: B-.

When a board-topper like Jarrian Jones slides to the 169th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in slot 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slipping to Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at edge rusher and wide receiver sat open.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 169th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at pick No. 202, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nathaniel Watson in pick 219. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable slid further than he should have, and the 245th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Knox
The board fumbled Trey Knox all the way to pick No. 255, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
