Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Barrett: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Michael Barrett slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in slot 42 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 88th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tykee Smith at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 108 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in the 125th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
You do not let a safety like Malik Mustapha reach the 168th pick and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 203, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They robbed the room for Michael Barrett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
The board fumbled Jase McClellan all the way to the 246th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
