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

Nobody else had Jamon Dumas-Johnson anywhere near Round 6, Pick 22. The Packers did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Woodson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 22 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
The board had Isaiah Bond higher than the 87th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Brown. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at slot 237 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They barely believed it either: Craig Woodson still on the board at pick No. 250. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
