Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 216, a good 59 spots before the room expected him. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at pick 126. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A clean, defensible pick in the 168th overall pick with a little surplus value in Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They took Steele Chambers at par in the 243rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jennings at pick No. 251, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
