Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick 246 on John Emery Jr., a name most had 97 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Kinchens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A slide stopped in No. 41, with Troy Franklin worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Haynes at the 88th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in the 203rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dwight McGlothern well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take John Emery Jr. this early at pick No. 246. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
