Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Legette: B.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Legette fell into pick 91.

Every board in the league had Gargiulo lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt is a better player than No. 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 88 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 91 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason McCormick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 33. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 202, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 219th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
A wild overpay on Nick Gargiulo in the 245th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
