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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tanner Mordecai at the 246th overall pick, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at slot 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 9, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the 57th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in pick 88, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick No. 93 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in slot 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A slide stopped in the 167th overall pick, with Moose Muhammad III worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 203rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
Good price on Zakhari Franklin in No. 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick 219 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
A real head-scratcher, Tanner Mordecai in Round 7, Pick 26 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than pick No. 251 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
