Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

Nobody had Edefuan Ulofoshio this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 67 spots to get him at slot 169.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 2, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, wide receiver and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at the 91st pick, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Thomas this early at pick No. 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached into another round for Edefuan Ulofoshio, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominique Hampton in the 202nd overall pick, miles early. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at Round 6, Pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Shirden in the 245th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A big swing on Devin Leary at pick No. 255, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
