Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Wilson should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Johnny Wilson slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They are betting Taylor proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 41st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A slide stopped in pick No. 70, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at slot 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They took Will Shipley at par in No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Circle this one: Johnny Wilson at Round 5, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in No. 183, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at Round 6, Pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
They paid up for C.J. Hanson at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
