Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The jury is out on the Packers. For now, C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent the Round 6 slot on Trevor Keegan, a name most had 48 spots down the list. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On value alone, Allen makes the weekend a net positive.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A conviction pick on Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in slot 69, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 88th overall pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at pick 91 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slid further than he should have, and the 168th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in Round 6, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A reach for Trey Taylor in pick No. 243; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Wedig. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
