Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ryan Flournoy, 34 picks early at pick 251.

That Melton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 25th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 127 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They took Kamal Hadden at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A slide stopped in slot 204, with Jaylan Ford worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Matthew Jones a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at No. 251 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
