Draft Grade — Packers

FutureB-
The Packers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Packers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Sirmon pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at slot 59 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 88th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 127 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
By-the-book stuff, Sione Vaki at the 168th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They read the board right and Jaylan Ford was the payoff at No. 204. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick243
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 243rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jackson Sirmon
Jackson Sirmon at slot 251 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
