Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

NeedB

FutureC
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+. Some picks age like wine; Devin Culp at pick No. 255 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade.
McCaffrey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Creed Humphrey leading the way. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than Round 2, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick64
Rnd2
DJ James
DJ James in No. 64 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at the 66th pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick88
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Somehow Braden Fiske was still sitting there in pick 88, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick124
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They paid sticker price for Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 33, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
They barely believed it either: Luke McCaffrey still on the board at the 181st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 182nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A reach on Trente Jones in No. 186; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in pick No. 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in pick 219, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
They jumped the gun on Trevin Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick226
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick227
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245
Rnd7
Omar Brown
They reached a country mile for Omar Brown at the 245th pick, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Watts at No. 253, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255
Rnd7
Devin Culp
A wild overpay on Devin Culp in the 255th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
