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

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 216 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Allen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in No. 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
No edge and no loss on Caelen Carson in pick No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A tidy bit of business in the 168th pick, where Malik Mustapha graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
Nick Gargiulo in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Lee in slot 251. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
