Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Paul Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, sitting there at the 196th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Morrison to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 23rd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They jumped the gun on Jalen Royals, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermari Harris. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Rylie Mills a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 196, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach the 237th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
They reached a country mile for Julian Fleming at Round 7, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
