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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how JD Bertrand got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at No. 245. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at pick No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at No. 88 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at the 169th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 25, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tylan Grable reach the 255th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
