Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Watts should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Watts slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 251. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They will replay Brenden Rice at pick 88 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 28. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Good price on Darius Robinson in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slid further than he should have, and slot 168 is lovely value for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 203 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 216th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They robbed the room for Ryan Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at pick 257 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
