Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Morgan fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Morgan, pick No. 58, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They robbed the room for Jordan Morgan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They took Trey Benson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 91st overall pick, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick No. 169 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A clean, defensible pick in No. 202 with a little surplus value in Myles Cole. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They did well to land Garret Greenfield in pick No. 219, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton slipping to pick 245 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
No drama and no debate, Tyrice Knight went about where he belonged in slot 255. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
