Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Jacobs: C+.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Curtis Jacobs fell into slot 219. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to pick 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaheim Bell in the 169th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
No drama and no debate, Jalen Sundell went about where he belonged in the 245th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in No. 257, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
