Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Packers.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 32 on Christian Jones a full 40 spots early. The final tally is a middling C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Watts.

If Tyler Nubin and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In slot 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 91st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at the 126th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 168th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at the 203rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Good price on De'Corian Clark in pick 216, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ryan Watts at pick No. 243. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Gentry. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
