Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dallas Gant, 76 picks early at slot 245. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They took Beaux Limmer at par in the 126th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They paid a round early for Tykee Smith in pick No. 149, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in No. 194. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 202nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in the 219th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They reached a country mile for Dallas Gant at Round 7, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
