Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Kenny Logan Jr.. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darius Robinson at pick 47 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 91 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A reach for Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 7; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Christian Jones
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Jones reach the 151st overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in pick 169, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in No. 202, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A big swing on Kenny Logan Jr. at slot 255, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
