Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Baker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Javon Baker sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 44, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cost of the Randolph Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the 125th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Somehow Roger Rosengarten was still sitting there in No. 203, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jawhar Jordan at the 217th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
No edge and no loss on Demani Richardson in pick No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
