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

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent Round 2, Pick 26 on Junior Colson while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat unaddressed.

If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Flournoy makes the weekend a net positive.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A curious use of Round 2, Pick 26. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Junior Colson did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at pick 91 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 126th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in slot 202 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy slipping to pick No. 219 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Nice patience on Trevin Wallace, who had no business lasting to pick 245. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
