Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at pick 107. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in slot 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the 58th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in No. 88. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at pick No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach Round 4, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 125th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 166 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick 168 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick201 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They talked themselves into Garret Greenfield at No. 201, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They robbed the room for Ty'Ron Hopper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A tidy little value on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
They paid sticker price for Marcellas Dial in pick No. 255, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
