Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Packers let Rosemy-Jacksaint fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at No. 243. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Harrell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Fautanu. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in pick No. 88. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nothing to complain about; Luke McCaffrey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 29, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 216 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 243rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at pick No. 256 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
