Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Some picks age like wine; Jordan Magee at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 52 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Gore Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
They took Cooper DeJean at par in slot 25, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 41st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in pick 88; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 126th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
They reached a country mile for Jordan Magee at the 169th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They jumped the gun on Garret Greenfield, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They paid up for Dominique Hampton at Round 6, Pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 245th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
