Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Watson. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nathaniel Watson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at No. 253. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Taylor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They robbed the room for J.J. McCarthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 26, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 126, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Fair-plus on Walter Rouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They took Kendall Milton at par in No. 202, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to Round 6, Pick 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A reach on Daijahn Anthony in the 225th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at pick No. 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Somehow Nathaniel Watson was still sitting there in the 253rd pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They read the board right and Jalen Sundell was the payoff at pick 255. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
