Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Packers never got to the one that mattered most.

The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That Powers-Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Nice patience on Jackson Powers-Johnson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 41. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 88th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
