Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Dial: B-.

When a board-topper like Marcellas Dial slides to pick No. 251, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The McClellan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter slid further than he should have, and slot 41 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A reach for Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the 91st overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slipping to Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Barrett at No. 203. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A conviction pick on Jase McClellan at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All is a better player than the 243rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
They robbed the room for Marcellas Dial here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
