Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Dallas Gant went at Round 7, Pick 25, a good 76 picks before the board was ready.

Legette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 58, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Legette at the 88th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 4, Pick 26 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in slot 169. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They paid a round early for Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 27, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
They talked themselves into Tyler Owens at the 219th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
Dallas Gant in pick No. 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
They let Bub Means come to them and pounced at pick 255. It fills a real need, too.
