mhollander21 DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Packers let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Jaylin Simpson slide 108 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Nugent reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 2, Pick 9. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in slot 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Steal is underselling it; Dominick Puni at the 126th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at No. 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
The board fumbled Kitan Oladapo all the way to the 202nd pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Fair-plus on Garret Greenfield, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at the 245th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at No. 255, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
