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

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Matt Lee, 74 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Puni value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 9, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in pick No. 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in the 88th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
The board fumbled Xavier Legette all the way to the 91st pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They barely believed it either: Dominick Puni still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dillon Johnson in the 169th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at pick No. 202 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at the 219th pick, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
