Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Dallas Gant in pick 245, a good 76 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in pick No. 169, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A tidy little value on Jase McClellan in the 202nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
A wild overpay on Dallas Gant in slot 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in pick 255, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
