Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 255 lands the Packers a B-, Means and all.

When a board-topper like Bub Means slides to pick No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, tight end and other spots went begging. Every board in the league had Morgan lower, and that gap is the story.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 26 on Edgerrin Cooper with edge rusher, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson slipping to No. 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in pick 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A curious use of the 126th pick. Edge rusher, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They let Jaylin Simpson come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 202, where Isaiah Williams graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 219 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Nice patience on Ryan Watts, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
They robbed the room for Bub Means here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
