Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped McClellan from sliding. Grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jase McClellan had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 44, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Ezirim to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, tight end and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 30th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A slide stopped in No. 88, with Jaylen Wright worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at slot 93, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Nice patience on Jarvis Brownlee Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 130. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Cedric Gray in pick No. 135 leaves edge rusher, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in the 202nd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Steal is underselling it; Jase McClellan at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Reed at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the 245th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josiah Ezirim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Josiah Ezirim. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
