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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent slot 245 on Jowon Briggs, a name the board had a full 26 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Whittington makes the weekend a net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 25th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 41 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A conviction pick on Max Melton at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A reach on Ray Davis in Round 3, Pick 25; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They paid a round early for Ben Sinnott in slot 91, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
By-the-book stuff, Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 202nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They paid up for Trey Taylor at the 219th pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A wild overpay on Dylan McMahon in pick No. 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in slot 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Whittington at No. 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
