Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Dallas Gant, taking him 102 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 58 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They barely believed it either: Kingsley Suamataia still on the board at the 88th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick No. 128 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 34 on Tykee Smith with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick169 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in the 169th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dallas Gant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallas Gant well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They paid up for Tyler Owens at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum in slot 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
