Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Wilson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 22 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Wohler to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 23 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 87th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach Round 4, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slipping to pick 159 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 198th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A tidy bit of business in No. 237, where Phil Mafah graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at slot 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
