Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

Nobody had Collin Oliver this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 40 spots to get him at slot 250. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Nolen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 54 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They liked Tai Felton enough to skip the value, taking him in the 89th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A reach on Seth McLaughlin in slot 159; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in pick 198. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 237 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 250th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Smith at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
