Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Wallace. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Caedan Wallace sat on the board until slot 245, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Packers indulged a want in Taylor-Demerson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton is a better player than pick No. 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A curious use of pick 91. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Dadrion Taylor-Demerson did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They will replay Braelon Allen at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in slot 169, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at the 202nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in the 219th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They barely believed it either: Caedan Wallace still on the board at the 245th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyrice Knight. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
