Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Rondell Bothroyd at slot 251 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will answer for taking S-EDGE early while quarterback and wide receiver went begging. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simpson.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy little value on Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 88th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at Round 3, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in pick No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 126 on Jalyx Hunt with quarterback and wide receiver unsolved.
Pick140
Rnd5
James Williams
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
A tidy bit of business in the 168th overall pick, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They let AJ Barner come to them and pounced at No. 203. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Omar Speights
They read the board right and Omar Speights was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in pick 243, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251
Rnd7
Rondell Bothroyd
A real head-scratcher, Rondell Bothroyd in Round 7, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
