Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Priorities are a choice, and the Packers made a strange one, taking Payton Wilson at linebacker in pick 58 with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots crying out for the pick instead. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Melton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick No. 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
A quiet steal in No. 84: Max Melton for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 90 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
