FutureB
Good, not great, for the Packers: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The Jennings steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Pratt lower, and that gap is the story.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in pick No. 56, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They went early on Jaylen Wright in No. 58, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in the 87th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and the 88th pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at slot 126, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 33. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in the 202nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in pick 216, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Trevin Wallace graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jennings at No. 255 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
