Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers let James fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Nice patience on Leonard Taylor III, who had no business lasting to No. 43. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy little value on T.J. Tampa in the 51st overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at pick No. 83 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 119th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea slipping to slot 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 217th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jennings at slot 240, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Value with a capital V on Eric Gentry in the 248th overall pick, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
