Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick No. 255 on Tanner Mordecai, a name most had 91 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Pearsall makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in the 58th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky Pearsall in Round 3, Pick 25, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in pick 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than the 170th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They took Tanner McLachlan at par in Round 6, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They paid up for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 219 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Steal is underselling it; Tylan Grable at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
Tanner Mordecai in pick No. 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
