Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueB-

TradesA
FutureC-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 97 spots for Jaylon Hutchings, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
On value alone, Ford makes the weekend a net positive. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to No. 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and pick No. 88 is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 3, Pick 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in slot 94; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in No. 113, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Max Melton
Somehow Max Melton was still sitting there in the 114th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 116th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at linebacker with edge rusher open.
Pick130
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in pick 130. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 29. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
They did well to land Malik Mustapha in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in the 202nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tylan Grable
They paid a round early for Tylan Grable in Round 6, Pick 44, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
They talked themselves into Evan Anderson at No. 228, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
By-the-book stuff, Daijahn Anthony at the 236th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
A reach on Kimani Vidal in pick 245; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
No edge and no loss on Tyler Owens in slot 250; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jaylon Hutchings
They reached a country mile for Jaylon Hutchings at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
