Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Evan Williams at No. 169 is 63 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

It is not that Wallace is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. The Grable value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in pick No. 58, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at the 88th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trevin Wallace
A want over a need in the 91st overall pick: Trevin Wallace adds a linebacker while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 126. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Evan Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Williams. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton slipping to pick 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
They paid up for Jacob Monk at Round 6, Pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A big swing on Jalen Sundell at the 255th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
