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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 132 is 49 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Grable pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in slot 32, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 58th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to pick 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in the 91st pick; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at the 128th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Ty'Ron Hopper at linebacker with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick169 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drake Nugent. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A reach for Evan Williams in slot 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They paid up for Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
By-the-book stuff, Josh Proctor at No. 245 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 255th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
