Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Jarrian Jones a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They took Kool-Aid McKinstry at par in the 25th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Wright at the 58th overall pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in pick 88. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jarrian Jones this early at Round 3, Pick 28. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Fair-plus on Javon Foster, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Nice patience on Brennan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 169. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in No. 245 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wild overpay on De'Corian Clark in slot 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
