Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesC
FutureB+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-. The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Matthew Jones at the 230th overall pick regardless, 30 picks early.
They banked enough surplus on Magee to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kamren Kinchens
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in the 76th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in pick 88, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 91 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They took Grayson Murphy at par in the 168th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at Round 6, Pick 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in slot 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick 237 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
They talked themselves into Maurice Smith at No. 243, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
