Draft Grade — Packers

Watson should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in No. 251 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Nathaniel Watson, the No. 206 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Hartman has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
They paid a round early for Blake Fisher in the 58th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ James in slot 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 91st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Davis this early at pick 127. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 6, Pick 29, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at No. 216 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 251st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
