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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Tim Smith at slot 219, roughly 48 spots before his name belonged.

The Ford pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. 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.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 19th pick they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 40, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They paid up for Trey Benson at pick 51 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Junior Colson well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in slot 88 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
A curious use of the 135th pick. Quarterback needed the pick; a linebacker in Jaylan Ford did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in slot 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at Round 6, Pick 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tim Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tim Smith in pick No. 219, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
