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

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Dwight McGlothern went at pick 219, a good 38 picks before the board was ready.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 41 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than slot 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
The board had cheaper options than Will Shipley at the 125th pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Malik Mustapha, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in No. 203, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They let Jawhar Jordan come to them and pounced at pick No. 217. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They paid sticker price for Eric Gentry in pick 246, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
