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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Jenkins, pick 88, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged.

Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
No drama and no debate, Cooper DeJean went about where he belonged in the 27th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in slot 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They robbed the room for Cole Bishop here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at No. 171. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jaheim Bell in pick No. 186, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at pick 202, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
They did well to land Tarheeb Still in slot 245, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They read the board right and Jalen Sundell was the payoff at the 255th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
