Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Dylan McMahon a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A reach on T.J. Tampa in slot 41; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 58. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the 88th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A reach for Khristian Boyd in the 169th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A real head-scratcher, Rasheen Ali in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the 245th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They took Ryan Watts at par in slot 255, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
