Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dwight McGlothern; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 54 spots ahead at the 203rd pick. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

However the rest shakes out, Nubin at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the 25th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tyler Nubin at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick167 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 203rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at slot 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
They reached a country mile for Tatum Bethune at No. 219, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They liked Walter Rouse enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in pick 251 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
