Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is Christian Jones at slot 125. The Packers jumped the board by 72 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The DeJean pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

So much rides on Cooper DeJean that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Quinyon Mitchell graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at slot 88, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at pick No. 94, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in slot 135. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in No. 147; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at Round 5, Pick 39. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 203, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They took Kenny Logan Jr. at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at pick 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at the 217th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at No. 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jennings in the 246th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
