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

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cornelius Johnson fell into pick 245.

Reaching for McMahon left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the 41st pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at slot 58 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the 68th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick No. 88 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
They barely believed it either: Caelen Carson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
A tidy little value on Mohamed Kamara in No. 137, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at Round 5, Pick 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They did well to land Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 202, just ahead of his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
A reach on Dominique Hampton in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at the 245th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in slot 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
