Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Rasheen Ali pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 57 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Dixon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to the 41st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at pick 169 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in Round 6, Pick 44, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid up for Sam Hartman at the 245th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Coker in slot 255. It fills a real need, too.
