Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers turned the phones into found money: B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent slot 255 on Dylan McMahon, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Robinson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Dre Greenlaw by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Good price on Nate Wiggins in pick 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 31. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in the 88th pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malik Washington
No edge and no loss on Malik Washington in pick No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Davis this early at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They reached into another round for Andrew Raym, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in pick No. 219. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
This one needs a full-page explanation: C.J. Hanson in pick 245, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the 255th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
