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

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Packers never got to the one that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Murphy II value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If Beebe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 9th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in pick 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at slot 73. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 82, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Danny Stutsman for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 4, Pick 35 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
