Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Packers let Bertrand fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: JD Bertrand, the No. 189 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 36 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cost of the Perry reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
The board had Trey Benson higher than No. 88, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Christian Haynes for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the 114th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 116th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A clean, defensible pick in slot 125 with a little surplus value in Sataoa Laumea. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones is a better player than Round 4, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in the 203rd pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd6 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at Round 6, Pick 42 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at the 219th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick237 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at pick No. 237 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
