FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Melton: D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Packers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Melton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The Jordan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at Round 2, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 88 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Melton
Somehow Max Melton was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in slot 126 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick No. 127, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Good price on Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at No. 204 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 216th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 243rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
They paid a round early for Jawhar Jordan in pick 251, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
