Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Tre'Mon Morris-Brash at pick 255 is 113 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Wallace value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In slot 25 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick45 Rnd2 MarShawn Lloyd
Value said wait; MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 45 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at the 58th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 31: Andru Phillips for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jacob Monk
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Monk in pick No. 163, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the 169th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Solomon Byrd well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Richard Jibunor this early at pick 245. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tre'Mon Morris-Brash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tre'Mon Morris-Brash. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
