Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Devin Leary at No. 255, roughly 52 spots before his name belonged.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. 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.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A conviction pick on Patrick Paul at slot 58 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than pick 91, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They jumped the gun on Roger Rosengarten, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 169th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones slid further than he should have, and pick No. 202 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They let Jared Wiley come to them and pounced at the 219th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
The board had cheaper options than Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 25, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Value said wait; Devin Leary in No. 255 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
