Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Briningstool fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Briningstool fell into Round 6, Pick 22. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The Ersery reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maxwell Hairston. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 87th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Lane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at Round 5, Pick 21 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Circle this one: Jake Briningstool at the 198th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They paid up for Kitan Crawford at pick 237 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Good price on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 250, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
