Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jarrian Jones fell into the 169th pick.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Reiman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at the 45th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 88, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
Fair-plus on DJ James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 32, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at pick 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A reach on Tip Reiman in Round 6, Pick 41; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
You do not let a running back like Frank Gore Jr. reach the 243rd overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ethan Driskell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
