Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Nubin fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Nubin pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in No. 41. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at pick 88 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at slot 126 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
