Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
The Packers robbed the room for Pratt. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Michael Pratt had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 33, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Taylor lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at No. 90 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had Cedric Gray higher than the 126th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd5 Javon Solomon
They robbed the room for Javon Solomon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
They barely believed it either: Michael Pratt still on the board at pick 169. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick No. 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Fair-plus on Caedan Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 245th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in pick No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
