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

There is reaching, and then there is Dylan McMahon at pick 216. The Packers jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

It is not that Brade is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Paul at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrion Arnold. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beau Brade
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 127th overall pick on Beau Brade with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 32 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the 216th overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A tidy little value on Kimani Vidal in slot 243, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They took Ryan Watts at par in pick 251, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
