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

When a board-topper like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint slides to pick No. 243, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Anderson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa is a better player than the 58th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 88 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Somehow Dominick Puni was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at the 168th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at No. 204 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 243rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
