Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

When a board-topper like Quinyon Mitchell slides to slot 57, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

McLachlan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nice patience on Nate Wiggins, who had no business lasting to the 25th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than pick 41, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in No. 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum is a better player than Round 3, Pick 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 91st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Taking Jaden Hicks in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They let Braelon Allen come to them and pounced at pick 168. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and slot 216 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner McLachlan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
