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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Austin Reed, 55 picks ahead of schedule.

The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots. That Barton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 41st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A wild overpay on Jaden Hicks in pick No. 58, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A curious use of the 91st overall pick. Edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
They jumped the gun on Tip Reiman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Steele Chambers in Round 6, Pick 27. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Austin Reed
Austin Reed in pick 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Nice patience on Tylan Grable, who had no business lasting to the 245th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Jalen Sundell for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
