Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dwight McGlothern, the Round 6 slot, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

It is not that Taylor-Demerson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in pick 91. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 127 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Nice patience on Mason McCormick, who had no business lasting to the 168th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach the 216th overall pick and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
The board had Tayvion Robinson higher than pick 243, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Josh Wallace at No. 251 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
