Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 255th pick.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Trotter Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in No. 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in the 58th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 88, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to the 126th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in No. 202. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 219 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A wild overpay on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 255th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
