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

Thirty-one other rooms let Elijah Jones slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

McGregor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
By-the-book stuff, Troy Fautanu at the 25th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at No. 41 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at Round 3, Pick 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braiden McGregor
A real head-scratcher, Braiden McGregor in pick 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 168th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They reached into another round for Tip Reiman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at slot 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at No. 243 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts in Round 7, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
