Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Demani Richardson at the Round 6 slot is 29 spots clear of where he belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Bertrand to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They took Calen Bullock at par in the 41st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sataoa Laumea in No. 125. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in pick No. 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Demani Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 219th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in slot 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
