Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 246 on John Emery Jr. a full 97 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, DeJean makes the weekend a net positive. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Fair-plus on McKinnley Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in slot 125 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 135 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 203rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They went early on J.J. Weaver in pick 217, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
A big swing on John Emery Jr. at Round 7, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
