Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Omar Brown at the 255th pick regardless, 62 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They banked enough surplus on Tracy Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to pick 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Value with a capital V on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 91, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Taking Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
You do not let a linebacker like Jordan Magee reach slot 202 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A reach for Trey Taylor in No. 219; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They robbed the room for Tylan Grable here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omar Brown
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Omar Brown well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
