Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Jones: B-.

Call it larceny. Elijah Jones sat on the board until slot 216, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 25 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in No. 41. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Taking Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at pick 88. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They did well to land McKinnley Jackson in the 127th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 168th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick 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 Ethan Driskell
No edge and no loss on Ethan Driskell in Round 7, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
Nothing to complain about; LaDarius Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
