Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick No. 245 on Frank Crum, a name most had 50 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Magee pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in the 58th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in the 88th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in No. 91 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick115 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A premium they did not need to pay, Beaux Limmer a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Elijah Jones for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in slot 202. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means in No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They talked themselves into Frank Crum at pick No. 245, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Somehow Jordan Magee was still sitting there in pick 255, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
