Draft Grade — Packers

Grand theft in No. 251: the Packers steal Watts and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Ryan Watts slides to the 251st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Powers-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 25th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 41; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 2 slot on Calen Bullock, a safety they were not short of.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 88th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 4, Pick 26. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at slot 168. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Magee at pick 203, and it noticed. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They let Rasheen Ali come to them and pounced at pick No. 216. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 243 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
