Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The McCarthy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 63rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 88 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in No. 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in Round 4, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the 169th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trente Jones in No. 202. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 44 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A slide stopped in pick 255, with Daijahn Anthony worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
