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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dallas Gant at slot 255, a reach of 62 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A reach on Max Melton in pick 58; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in slot 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 105 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 202 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at No. 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They reached into another round for Trente Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at pick 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They talked themselves into Dallas Gant at the 255th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
