Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but KT Leveston at slot 251 is 132 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bailey.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in pick No. 57, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in the 88th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A conviction pick on Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A wild overpay on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 168 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick 203 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emani Bailey at slot 216. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 243rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Value said wait; KT Leveston in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
