Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
McCormick should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Mason McCormick slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

Reaching for Crum left real value on the table behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Payton Wilson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A tidy bit of business in the 126th overall pick, where Elijah Jones graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Circle this one: Mason McCormick at pick No. 202 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They jumped the gun on Edefuan Ulofoshio, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Owens a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Crum this early at pick No. 255. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
