Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

On value alone, Barton makes the weekend a net positive. Reaching for Wallace left real value on the table behind him. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at slot 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick 58, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 88, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 91st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than the 126th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in Round 6, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 219 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 245 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A reach for C.J. Hanson in the 255th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
