Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Packers walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Melton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Wright reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 25th pick they get a two-high chess piece, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at slot 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany slipping to Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in pick No. 125. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in the 135th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in pick 203, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at slot 217 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in the 219th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the 246th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
