Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Dillon Johnson a full 41 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Washington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at No. 41. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 88 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Value said wait; Dillon Johnson in the 126th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A big swing on Justin Rogers at slot 169, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy bit of business in the 202nd pick, where Tahj Washington graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to No. 219. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board had cheaper options than Sam Hartman at pick No. 245, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at Round 7, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
