Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Nobody else had Dallas Gant anywhere near the 255th pick. The Packers did, by 63 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Magee pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid up for T.J. Tampa at pick No. 41 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in pick 126, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Somehow Kitan Oladapo was still sitting there in the 169th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Magee at pick No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 219th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A reach for Frank Crum in Round 7, Pick 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They reached into another round for Dallas Gant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
