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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Cephus reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Melton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 25 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nice patience on Malachi Corley, who had no business lasting to No. 88. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in the 168th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They read the board right and Ethan Driskell was the payoff at the 203rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick 216 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They liked Joshua Cephus enough to skip the value, taking him in the 243rd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in Round 7, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
