Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Dallas Gant in the Round 6 slot. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Mims that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They will replay Amarius Mims at the 52nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in the 83rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They did well to land Theo Johnson in slot 126, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid up for Jarrian Jones at No. 127 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in pick No. 155, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than the 188th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dallas Gant
A big swing on Dallas Gant at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in the 247th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 255th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
