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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Dallas Gant, taking him 76 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Guerendo to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They jumped the gun on Edgerrin Cooper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 58 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than the 126th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
They barely believed it either: Isaac Guerendo still on the board at the 169th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
The board fumbled Trente Jones all the way to slot 219, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
Dallas Gant at pick 245 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.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at No. 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
