Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than the Round 2 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in slot 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 103rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at slot 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick No. 158 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at pick 214 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
No edge and no loss on Braiden McGregor in Round 6, Pick 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
A slide stopped in pick 239, with Joshua Gray worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They paid a round early for Trevor Keegan in Round 7, Pick 26, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
