Draft Grade — Packers

FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than the Round 2 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in slot 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick103
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 103rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at slot 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
James Williams
They took James Williams at par in No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick No. 158 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214
Rnd6
Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at pick 214 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
No edge and no loss on Braiden McGregor in Round 6, Pick 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
A slide stopped in pick 239, with Joshua Gray worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
Trevor Keegan
They paid a round early for Trevor Keegan in Round 7, Pick 26, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
