Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Matthew Jones, 23 picks ahead of schedule.

The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Getting Magee where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 25 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 2, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They talked themselves into Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 125, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A want over a need in slot 135: James Williams adds a safety while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid up for Tanor Bortolini at No. 203 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 6, Pick 44 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They went early on Dwight McGlothern in the 246th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
