Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Tanner Mordecai pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 59 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Benson at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the Round 1 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mekhi Wingo this early at slot 41. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 57th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Taking Trey Benson in pick 88 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They went early on Blake Fisher in the 91st overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A big swing on Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 4, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in pick 168, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick203 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 203rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanner Mordecai well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
