Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA+
The Packers won the night they stopped Simpson from sliding. Grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylin Simpson slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 44. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at Round 3, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They let Hunter Nourzad come to them and pounced at No. 169. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They barely believed it either: Dylan Laube still on the board at slot 202. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Somehow Jaylin Simpson was still sitting there in the 219th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They will replay Trente Jones at slot 245 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
