Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 255th pick on Devin Leary a full 52 spots early.

On value alone, McCormick makes the weekend a net positive. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback, tight end and other spots went begging.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 42; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Renardo Green
They left a pile of value on the table to take Renardo Green this early at the 58th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A surprising call. With cornerback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Cole Bishop in the 91st pick leaves cornerback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in the 123rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at No. 126, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They will replay Mason McCormick at pick 169 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They went early on Myles Cole in pick No. 188, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Julian Pearl at slot 219 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Devin Leary
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Leary. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
