Draft Grade — Packers

ValueB-
NeedB

FutureD
McCarthy is the Packers' new face under center. Grade: F. The Packers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Limmer reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In slot 28 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at No. 66 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88
Rnd3
Max Melton
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 90 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ray Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ray Davis. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at No. 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 112th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick126
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Taking Braelon Allen in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A real head-scratcher, Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They jumped the gun on Kitan Oladapo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in slot 147, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 154 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick155
Rnd5
AJ Barner
The board had cheaper options than AJ Barner at pick No. 155, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A reach for Khristian Boyd in No. 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Fair-plus on Jared Wiley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Good price on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 6, Pick 11, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 196th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Steal is underselling it; Fabien Lovett at the 203rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy slid further than he should have, and No. 219 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Nice patience on Jaylen Harrell, who had no business lasting to the 220th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in pick No. 228, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
No edge and no loss on Jalen Sundell in slot 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at pick 246, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 35. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
