Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

The war room fell hard for Isaac Guerendo, and it showed at pick No. 168: 107 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Terrion Arnold that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the 41st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent slot 88 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sione Vaki
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 91 on Sione Vaki with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 168th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the 203rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at No. 216, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at Round 7, Pick 23 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They reached into another round for Donovan Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
