Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Packers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

McCormick at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will need Carlies to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 41st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 58th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Fair-plus on Cedric Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in slot 169: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal is a better player than the 219th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Value with a capital V on Ryan Watts in the 245th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
They went early on Jaylon Carlies in slot 255, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
