Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 88: the Packers steal Kinchens and grade out a B.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kamren Kinchens fell into pick No. 88.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 41 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Circle this one: Tyler Nubin at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A curious use of the 88th overall pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kamren Kinchens did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in the 91st pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyrice Knight at Round 4, Pick 25. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey in Round 6, Pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
