Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Frank Crum in slot 245.

That Polk pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in the 41st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
They went early on Jaylen Wright in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slipping to the 88th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They liked Roger Rosengarten enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 26. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylan Ford in pick 169, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 27, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at No. 219 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
