Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Aaron Lewis in the Round 6 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Allen steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 25 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 41st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Circle this one: Quinyon Mitchell at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They will replay Jonathon Brooks at the 88th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick203 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Taking Braelon Allen in the 203rd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Aaron Lewis
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in pick 219 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 246 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
