Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jermaine Burton, the 88th pick, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the McGlothern reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Mustapha is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
By-the-book stuff, Byron Murphy II at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They read the board right and Calen Bullock was the payoff at pick No. 57. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at No. 88 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Malik Mustapha, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 135th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dwight McGlothern this early at Round 6, Pick 42. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in slot 219 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 246th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
