Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Oladapo: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Kitan Oladapo, the No. 154 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 202 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Packers indulged a want in Wilson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A want over a need in No. 58: Payton Wilson adds a linebacker while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 126th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 202nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A quiet steal in pick 219: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at slot 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
