Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 127th overall pick: the Packers steal Melton and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Max Melton, the No. 92 name on the board, sitting there at pick 127 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Milton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in pick No. 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick 91, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in No. 127 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
A wild overpay on Kendall Milton in Round 5, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Cole this early at the 204th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 243. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at pick No. 251, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
