Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dallas Gant, 76 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Fautanu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at No. 41 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No edge and no loss on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the 91st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beaux Limmer. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A straight-up fair deal on Kendall Milton at pick 202, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Owens well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They reached into another round for Dallas Gant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A wild overpay on Frank Crum in pick No. 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
