Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD FutureA
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Payton Wilson, 22 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in No. 39; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
The board had cheaper options than Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 11, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They liked Bucky Irving enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 111 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They reached a country mile for Payton Wilson at pick No. 122, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
A conviction pick on Jason Marshall Jr. at the 135th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 23 with a little surplus value in Cole Bishop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
