Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Tommy Eichenberg at slot 91, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in slot 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in the 41st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
The board had cheaper options than Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kalen King
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kalen King well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in the 91st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Circle this one: Mason McCormick at pick 169 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in slot 202, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at the 219th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tylan Grable at Round 7, Pick 25 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
The board had Josh Proctor higher than pick 255, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
