Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 245 lands the Packers a B-, Jones and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Sheridan Jones, Round 7, Pick 25, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Morgan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the 41st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 DJ James
Nothing to complain about; DJ James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at the 88th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in pick No. 91, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Fisher at No. 126 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at Round 5, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in slot 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 219 with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They barely believed it either: Sheridan Jones still on the board at the 245th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Circle this one: Nathan Thomas at pick 255 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
