Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

There is reaching, and then there is Trey Benson at pick 51. The Packers jumped the board by 30 and dared it to prove them wrong. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edgerrin Cooper. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Benson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A reach for Braden Fiske in Round 3, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the 92nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Junior Colson adds a linebacker while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 135th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
