Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Packers get a C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 245 on Jarrett Kingston, a name the board had a full 68 spots lower. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Watson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

If Graham Barton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in the 58th overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at slot 91, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A surprising call. With wide receiver and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 126 on Malik Mustapha, a safety they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reach on Jordan Travis in No. 169; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in slot 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 175th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Taking Nathaniel Watson in pick 239 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jarrett Kingston
Jarrett Kingston in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 255th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
