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

The Packers did not so much draft Tanner McLachlan as overpay for him, 62 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

It is not that Hicks is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Taylor III makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 58th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 27. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 168 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in No. 204 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They reached into another round for Garret Greenfield, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Neyor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
