Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trevin Wallace at slot 202, a reach of 31 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milton III.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 9 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 88 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in the 91st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 126th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
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 Trevin Wallace
They talked themselves into Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Nice patience on Dominique Hampton, who had no business lasting to pick 245. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at slot 255, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
