jj3325 DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-. The Packers did not so much draft John Emery Jr. as overpay for him, 99 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The Pritchett value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the 126th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
They robbed the room for Nehemiah Pritchett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick No. 203. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243
Rnd7
John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. in slot 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251
Rnd7
Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
