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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Walter Rouse got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick 202. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Bortolini reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Steal is underselling it; Rome Odunze at pick No. 41 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than the 58th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in No. 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They barely believed it either: Walter Rouse still on the board at Round 6, Pick 27. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in the 245th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in pick No. 255, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
