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

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Elijah Jones, the No. 115 name on the board, sitting there at No. 169 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Nourzad to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A slide stopped in the 58th pick, with Javon Bullard worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 68. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at slot 88 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 26, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hunter Nourzad well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in pick No. 169 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 202nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in No. 245 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in pick No. 255. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A quiet steal in the 256th overall pick: Jalen Sundell for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They jumped the gun on Trey Taylor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
