Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers spent real capital to be 54 picks early on Trey Taylor, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCaffrey. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, tight end and other spots. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A quiet steal in slot 88: Cooper Beebe for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright is a better player than pick No. 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent pick 127 on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the 168th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Somehow Luke McCaffrey was still sitting there in slot 204, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Nice patience on Joe Milton III, who had no business lasting to pick No. 216. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Value with a capital V on Kimani Vidal in the 251st overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
