Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Packers walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Getting Cooper where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 41st pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 26, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andru Phillips at No. 127 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than slot 168, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
