Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Khristian Boyd, 51 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Barrett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They paid sticker price for Tyler Nubin in slot 40, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at No. 58 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Hart a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in the 91st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
They talked themselves into Jarrian Jones at pick No. 100, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 AJ Barner
By-the-book stuff, AJ Barner at slot 169 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at the 172nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
No edge and no loss on Jalen Coker in the 245th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
