Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC FutureB+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Matthew Jones at the 230th overall pick regardless, 30 picks early.

They banked enough surplus on Magee to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in the 76th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in pick 88, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 91 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They took Grayson Murphy at par in the 168th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at Round 6, Pick 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in slot 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick 237 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They talked themselves into Maurice Smith at No. 243, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
