Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Winston Jr.: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kevin Winston Jr., pick No. 124, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. If Crawford pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
The board had Benjamin Morrison higher than Round 2, Pick 22, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Good price on Devin Neal in the 87th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 124, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles is a better player than pick No. 159 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tidy little value on Oronde Gadsden II in slot 198, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in pick 237 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jamon Dumas-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
