Draft Grade — Packers

Grand theft in the 243rd overall pick: the Packers steal Harden and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Myles Harden slides to pick No. 243, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Allen to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 25th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braelon Allen. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 168th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Nothing to complain about; Curtis Jacobs went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jha'Quan Jackson reach No. 216 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at Round 7, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matthew Jones. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
