Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers let Franklin fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 2, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Troy Franklin, the No. 31 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 26 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
The board had Jordan Morgan higher than Round 2, Pick 9, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Taking Troy Franklin in No. 57 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They robbed the room for Javon Bullard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A quiet steal in slot 89: Blake Corum for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tykee Smith adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They barely believed it either: Matt Goncalves still on the board at the 125th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at the 188th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Miyan Williams at pick No. 203 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 217th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick246 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A slide stopped in slot 246, with Blake Watson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
