Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Michael Jurgens at Round 7, Pick 25 is 101 spots clear of where he belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Fautanu pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The Gray pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A tidy little value on Terrion Arnold in Round 1, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
The board fumbled Troy Fautanu all the way to the 41st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They went early on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 58, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Cedric Gray in the 110th pick leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A reach for Roger Rosengarten in pick 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They took Malik Mustapha at par in the 169th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at pick No. 202 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick225 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the 225th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Jurgens
Michael Jurgens in Round 7, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than No. 253 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at slot 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
