Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

The Packers bet big and early on Jaylen Wright, 75 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at the 57th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at pick 88, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 126th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in the 203rd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Value said wait; Darius Muasau in pick No. 216 says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They took Daequan Hardy at par in the 243rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in slot 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
