Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 203rd overall pick: the Packers steal Allen and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Braelon Allen slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at slot 203. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at pick No. 41. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton slid further than he should have, and No. 57 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 88th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ James
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ James in the 126th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Steal is underselling it; Braelon Allen at Round 6, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at pick 216. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Nothing to complain about; Steele Chambers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
