Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Barrett: B.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Michael Barrett, the No. 180 name on the board, in No. 203.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 45th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 57th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 25 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They read the board right and Cole Bishop was the payoff at pick No. 135. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 203 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 217, where Kenny Logan Jr. graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at Round 6, Pick 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in No. 246 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
