Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Myles Jones pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 58 with a little surplus value in Braden Fiske. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Wright a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in No. 88, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Maason Smith with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in slot 103. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than Round 5, Pick 25, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A conviction pick on Delmar Glaze at pick 168 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and the 201st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They will replay Cornelius Johnson at the 219th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
