Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Coleman: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Keon Coleman, pick No. 88, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Dankwah reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. It is not that Taylor-Demerson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick 58 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at safety with edge rusher and quarterback open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid up for Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in the 168th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in slot 204, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 243 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah in pick No. 251 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
