Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Thomas from sliding. Grade: C+.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nathan Thomas fell into the 217th overall pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Every board in the league had McGlothern lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Jackson Powers-Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
By-the-book stuff, Byron Murphy II at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at No. 57, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Max Melton worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at pick 135, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slipping to slot 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at Round 6, Pick 42 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They paid sticker price for Eric Gentry in pick 246, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
