Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Junior Colson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot.

If Knight pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Oladapo pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A tidy little value on Javon Bullard in pick No. 58, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Taking Junior Colson in pick 88 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
A surprising call. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 26 on Kitan Oladapo, a safety they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrice Knight
They talked themselves into Tyrice Knight at the 169th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk at slot 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at slot 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
