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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Fashanu at that price is a win they earned. The cost of the Wallace reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A slide stopped in No. 41, with Graham Barton worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They did well to land Junior Colson in pick 58, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in the 91st overall pick, where Max Melton graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in slot 126, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 202. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A reach for Trevin Wallace in the 219th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A conviction pick on Kimani Vidal at pick 245 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
No drama and no debate, Ryan Watts went about where he belonged in pick No. 255. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
