Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B+.

The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The cost of the Milton III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Vaki pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in No. 67. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 88th overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at Round 4, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in slot 126, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
By-the-book stuff, Khristian Boyd at pick No. 171 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in No. 172, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Steal is underselling it; Sione Vaki at the 180th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at slot 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in pick 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at the 222nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in the 245th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
