Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Jarrian Jones. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, reach and all.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Taking Jordan Morgan in slot 58 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at No. 88, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jarrian Jones in Round 3, Pick 28, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They let Tyler Davis come to them and pounced at pick No. 127. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Garret Greenfield
A real head-scratcher, Garret Greenfield in slot 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They read the board right and Elijah Jones was the payoff at the 204th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They took Tanner McLachlan at par in pick No. 216, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at Round 7, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
