Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 37 spots for Jaylen Wright, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Bertrand pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 57th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
The board had cheaper options than Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at the 126th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 203rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 216 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at slot 243, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at Round 7, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
