Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Tyler Owens in pick 202. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots went begging. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Value said wait; Jaden Hicks in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 58th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 91st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 126 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Garret Greenfield
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garret Greenfield well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
They reached a country mile for Tyler Owens at the 202nd pick, and the board is aghast. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Sundell at pick No. 245 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at the 255th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
