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

The Packers' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The TeSlaa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If McLaughlin pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tetairoa McMillan in pick 23. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bradyn Swinson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 87th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They took Dorian Strong at par in slot 124, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 159, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 198th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A tidy bit of business in No. 237, where Desmond Watson graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Isaac TeSlaa worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
