Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Dixon from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Johnny Dixon, the 255th overall pick, roughly 64 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the 88th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Calen Bullock at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Somehow Ro Torrence was still sitting there in No. 219, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at the 255th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
