Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

Landing Schrader that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Troy Franklin at the 39th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 43, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 75th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Rod Moore
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roman Wilson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 135 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than slot 189 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton at the 217th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at the 219th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick 232 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
