Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Elijah Jones had no business being available in pick No. 219, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Lovett pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in slot 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in pick No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fabien Lovett. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They went early on Jarrian Jones in pick 135, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
The board fumbled Elijah Jones all the way to the 219th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Nice patience on Tyler Owens, who had no business lasting to pick No. 245. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Good price on Kenny Logan Jr. in the 255th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
