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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jayson Jones, taking him 50 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They liked Trey Benson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 57th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid a round early for Tykee Smith in the 88th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 4, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in pick 135, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 203rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where De'Corian Clark graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Erick All
A clean, defensible pick in slot 219 with a little surplus value in Erick All. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at pick No. 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
