Draft Grade — Packers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Packers let Devonshire fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. M.J. Devonshire had no business being available in the 219th overall pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Breece Hall leading the way.

Bottom line, with Junior Colson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
The board had Junior Colson higher than the 58th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A want over a need in the 126th overall pick: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at Round 6, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Steal is underselling it; M.J. Devonshire at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at pick 245 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Carlton Johnson
Carlton Johnson at pick No. 255 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
