Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Jowon Briggs went at No. 245, a good 26 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Davis. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in pick 49, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Fair-plus on Mike Sainristil, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ray Davis
The board fumbled Ray Davis all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 169th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at slot 202 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 219. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jowon Briggs this early at No. 245. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
They paid up for Jaylon Carlies at pick 255 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
