Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trevin Wallace at the Round 6 slot regardless, 31 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Landing Polk that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 25th overall pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 41. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A curious use of No. 58. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Payton Wilson did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in the 88th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Max Melton for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Jones at pick 126. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nice patience on Kitan Oladapo, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in slot 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Sundell at pick No. 245 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A tidy bit of business in the 255th overall pick, where Josh Proctor graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
