Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 88: the Packers steal Coleman and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Keon Coleman sat on the board until pick 88, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Proctor lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Keon Coleman in pick No. 88, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 91 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in the 125th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 201 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
The board fumbled Elijah Jones all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Green
A clean, defensible pick in the 255th pick with a little surplus value in Jalen Green. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
