Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Trey Taylor pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They banked enough surplus on Corum to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Donovan Peoples-Jones pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 29 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton is a better player than the 41st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to Round 2, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Renardo Green at slot 91 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Corum
You do not let a running back like Blake Corum reach the 126th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Magee in the 201st overall pick, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A reach for Nathaniel Watson in pick 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A wild overpay on Trey Taylor in pick No. 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Nice patience on Jalen Sundell, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
