Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Packers a B-, Wallace and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Trevin Wallace, Round 7, Pick 35, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jefferson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 41st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 25, where Sedrick Van Pran graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than pick 91, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at slot 126, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 169th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in No. 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick256 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Trey Taylor at pick 256, and it noticed. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 257th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
