Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 219 on Dallas Gant a full 103 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 3 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 Troy Fautanu
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to the 169th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Owens this early at pick 202. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dallas Gant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dallas Gant in the 219th pick, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Crum well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Good price on Kimani Vidal in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
