Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on McKinstry: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 1, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A tidy little value on Adisa Isaac in slot 58, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 88th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at the 126th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in pick 169. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson is a better player than pick No. 202 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They read the board right and Drake Nugent was the payoff at the 219th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They did well to land Donovan Jennings in slot 245, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Owens at the 255th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
