Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Devin Leary at the Round 7 slot regardless, 51 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 41st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in No. 88. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in pick No. 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trente Jones this early at the 202nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 44 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A quiet steal in the 245th overall pick: Daijahn Anthony for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary in slot 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
