Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Matthew Jones, 44 picks early at No. 216.

They banked enough surplus on Bullard to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in Round 2, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A curious use of No. 88. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Javon Bullard did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A tidy little value on Darius Robinson in pick 127, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in slot 168: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 203rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 216th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in pick No. 243 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in No. 251; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
