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

The Packers torched the value chart for Evan Anderson, taking him 63 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Hopper at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They read the board right and Cooper DeJean was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at slot 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slipping to the 126th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in slot 169, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 202, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in the 255th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
