Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick 216 on Trey Taylor, a name the board had a full 81 spots lower.

McGlothern falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 25 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at pick No. 90, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slid further than he should have, and the 91st overall pick is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
The board had cheaper options than Tykee Smith at pick No. 137, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at pick 168 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Steal is underselling it; Dwight McGlothern at slot 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A big swing on Trey Taylor at Round 6, Pick 41, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dallas Gant this early at the 251st overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
