Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Bond pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Lundt pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 23rd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They did well to land Marcus Mbow in No. 54, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Isaiah Bond worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A reach on Chase Lundt in the 159th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in slot 198 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A tidy little value on Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 21, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No edge and no loss on Tonka Hemingway in pick 250; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
