Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Smith from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Tykee Smith sat on the board until No. 125, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Reaching for Wright left real value on the table behind him. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 25th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick 41 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than the 88th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 25 on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in slot 203. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They read the board right and Jawhar Jordan was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 42. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. Weaver a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They jumped the gun on Dwight McGlothern, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
