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

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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Greenfield pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Bullard. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 88th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A tidy bit of business in No. 126, where Jarvis Brownlee Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 169th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A conviction pick on Garret Greenfield at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 219th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slipping to Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
No edge and no loss on Ryan Watts in pick No. 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
