Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers land in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Trevin Wallace. He came off 60 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Landing Oladapo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Jackson Powers-Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 25th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trevin Wallace
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots to take Trevin Wallace, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 202nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk in Round 6, Pick 44 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Sundell well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in slot 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
