Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Packers walked right past. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Fair-plus on Xavier Legette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 88, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the 126th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 168 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick 243 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A premium they did not need to pay, Mark Perry a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
