TheB17Barrage DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Ethan Downs, 35 picks ahead of schedule.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 54 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 87 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in the 124th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159
Rnd5
Logan Brown
They let Logan Brown come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
They jumped the gun on R.J. Mickens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick237
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. at slot 237 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at pick 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
