Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dylan McMahon, 31 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Nice patience on Brian Thomas Jr., who had no business lasting to the 41st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in slot 57; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in pick 88, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
They paid a round early for Kamal Hadden in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in slot 128 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A want over a need in pick 135: Ty'Ron Hopper adds a linebacker while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in pick No. 203 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They went early on Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slipping to Round 6, Pick 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
By-the-book stuff, Walter Rouse at the 246th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
