Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Trey Taylor at pick No. 243, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Abrams-Draine to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick 25 they get a rangy last line of defense, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than the 41st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in slot 58. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cole Bishop adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Nice patience on Kris Abrams-Draine, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 28. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A quiet steal in the 127th overall pick: Javon Foster for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in pick 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They talked themselves into Tip Reiman at pick No. 204, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A wild overpay on Trevin Wallace in Round 6, Pick 41, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at the 243rd pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 251st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
