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

No fireworks, just good process: the Packers sat on their board and let Tatum Bethune come to them at pick 245. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in No. 41. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 58th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in pick No. 88, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A reasonable price with a little left over, Walter Rouse in pick No. 169. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at the 202nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 44. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Value with a capital V on Tatum Bethune in the 245th overall pick, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
No edge and no loss on Kimani Vidal in pick 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
