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

You could see the war room lean forward. Cornelius Johnson at slot 245 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
By-the-book stuff, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 88 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in pick 91, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 33 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at No. 202 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Sundell this early at slot 219. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in pick 245, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
