Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Jaylen Wright, 63 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

However the rest shakes out, Mahogany at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Newton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 88th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at pick No. 91. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had cheaper options than Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They took Tanor Bortolini at par in pick No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in pick 217; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Myles Jones
A quiet steal in slot 219: Myles Jones for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Armstrong in No. 246, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
