Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for McCormick: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason McCormick had no business being available in pick No. 202, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A clean, defensible pick in the 25th pick with a little surplus value in Terrion Arnold. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at pick No. 41. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
The board had Jaylen Wright higher than slot 88, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick 91, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 26, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 169th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
They will replay Mason McCormick at No. 202 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
No drama and no debate, Tyler Owens went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
