Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Magee fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Jordan Magee slides to pick 245, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Zinter proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A conviction pick on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in the 58th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 28 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 169 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They paid a round early for Nathaniel Watson in pick 202, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Taking Jordan Magee in slot 245 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
