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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Solomon Byrd. He came off 43 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on McCormick to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 25th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dominick Puni
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominick Puni. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They liked Cole Bishop enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in slot 91, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A reach for Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 26; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at the 169th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevin Wallace this early at slot 202. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at pick No. 219, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
