Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Fuaga should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Taliese Fuaga, pick No. 41, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in the 57th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They let Jalen McMillan come to them and pounced at slot 91. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the 125th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
The board fumbled Michael Barrett all the way to pick 203, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 42: Jalen Berger for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jha'Quan Jackson in pick No. 219. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeremy Flax in slot 246. The roster fit checks out.
