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

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Luke McCaffrey, the No. 149 name on the board, in the 202nd overall pick.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 25 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 9. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in No. 126. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 169th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Fair-plus on Garret Greenfield, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
