Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Jones: B.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 31 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Bishop lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 41 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 26, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
They barely believed it either: Max Melton still on the board at pick 91. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Trey Benson
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach the 127th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than No. 204, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 216 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at the 243rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at Round 7, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
