Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Watson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nathaniel Watson, pick No. 255, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Gray has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 25 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at slot 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A clean, defensible pick in the 88th overall pick with a little surplus value in Calen Bullock. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 126th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Jones in pick No. 169, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Steal is underselling it; Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A tidy little value on Garret Greenfield in No. 219, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in slot 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board fumbled Nathaniel Watson all the way to the 255th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
