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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Landing Guyton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They let Tyler Guyton come to them and pounced at slot 41. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick 58 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Marshawn Kneeland for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the 126th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
