Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Wallace fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Caedan Wallace had no business being available in the 169th pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Sundell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. It is not that Oladapo is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: running back settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A tidy little value on Javon Bullard in slot 58, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at pick 91, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kitan Oladapo adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
Steal is underselling it; Caedan Wallace at the 169th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in No. 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk at pick No. 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Sundell. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
