Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

Nobody else had Frank Crum anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Packers did, by 116 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Green falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 58th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 127 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
No drama and no debate, Kamal Hadden went about where he belonged in the 168th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Crum
Frank Crum at the 204th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 23, where Tyler Owens graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dallas Gant. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
