Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jarrian Jones got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Shipley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 2, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 88th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Will Shipley
A reach for Will Shipley in No. 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in slot 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 168 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
They paid up for Tyler Owens at Round 6, Pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the 245th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
Nice patience on LaDarius Henderson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 255. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
