Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick No. 219 on Nathaniel Watson, a name most had 21 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No drama and no debate, Kris Jenkins went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in slot 88 with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A slide stopped in the 91st overall pick, with Roman Wilson worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 125. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 203rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
They read the board right and Miyan Williams was the payoff at pick No. 217. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A real head-scratcher, Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 44 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in the 246th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
