Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Devin Leary as overpay for him, 53 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. McKinstry at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
By-the-book stuff, Amarius Mims at No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 41st overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in pick No. 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in Round 4, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braelon Allen in pick 110. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in No. 169. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They paid a round early for Caedan Wallace in the 202nd pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Jaylan Ford worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevin Wallace a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at the 245th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary in pick No. 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Devin Culp at Round 7, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
