Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Mitchell Melton at the 257th pick regardless, 61 picks early.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Styles.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
The board had Sonny Styles higher than pick 52, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They did well to land Julian Neal in the 84th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Mathews Jr. at slot 159, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
By-the-book stuff, Riley Mahlman at pick No. 236 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
They reached a country mile for Korey Foreman at the 254th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mitchell Melton well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
