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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Evan Williams in pick No. 169, a good 63 spots before the room expected him.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Colson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Beebe.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 25 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A want over a need in pick 58: Junior Colson adds a linebacker while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Cooper Beebe in the 88th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They reached a country mile for Tykee Smith at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at slot 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
They reached into another round for Jacob Monk, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A big swing on LaDarius Henderson at Round 7, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They talked themselves into Jalen Sundell at pick 255, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
