Draft Grade — Packers

Larceny in No. 88 lands the Packers a B-, Coleman and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Keon Coleman got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at No. 88. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Every board in the league had Mayes lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Elliss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in pick 88, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 91st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 125 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at slot 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, BJ Mayes well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in No. 217, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A tidy bit of business in slot 219, where Miyan Williams graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at Round 7, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
