Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Matthew Jones, 25 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They banked enough surplus on Mims to cover a lot of smaller sins. 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
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Fair-plus on Byron Murphy II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They barely believed it either: Amarius Mims still on the board at No. 41. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 88th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the 135th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey is a better player than Round 6, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at slot 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They liked Dwight McGlothern enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 246. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
