Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Kyle Hergel in Round 7, Pick 35. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
The board had Graham Barton higher than the 41st overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Circle this one: Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 3, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in pick 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 33. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 202nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick245 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 245th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyle Hergel
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Hergel in No. 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
