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

When a board-topper like Miyan Williams slides to pick No. 217, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The Jerry Jacobs pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at No. 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Abrams-Draine at the 135th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 167 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee is a better player than pick No. 203 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in Round 6, Pick 42 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Nothing to complain about; Darius Muasau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 246 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
