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

The rest of the league had time to spare on McKade Mettauer; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at pick 246. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Bertrand at that price is a win they earned.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at No. 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in slot 88, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 91st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at No. 135, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They will replay JD Bertrand at pick 217 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 219th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
A wild overpay on McKade Mettauer in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
