Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Kedon Slovis anywhere near pick No. 255. The Packers did, by 50 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Melton in pick No. 58, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 88th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A reach for Beau Brade in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathaniel Watson a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at pick 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They paid sticker price for Jalen Sundell in Round 7, Pick 25, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at the 255th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
