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

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Matthew Jones at the 216th overall pick regardless, 26 picks early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In slot 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in No. 41, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 57th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick No. 88, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
No drama and no debate, MarShawn Lloyd went about where he belonged in the 126th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 216th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 243 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at slot 251, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
