Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers turned the phones into found money: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 219, a reach of 69 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on linebacker with tight end and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Melton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 58th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and the 88th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A curious use of pick No. 128. Tight end and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a linebacker in Tommy Eichenberg did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
The board had Tykee Smith higher than slot 169, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taulia Tagovailoa. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A reasonable price with a little left over, KT Leveston in the 245th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Good price on Jalen Coker in Round 7, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
