Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody else had Trey Taylor anywhere near pick No. 245. The Packers did, by 22 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Green is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in slot 27. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Renardo Green at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 90th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at pick No. 126 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to pick 169. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A big swing on Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 255th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
