Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on McGlothern: B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into No. 202.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 25. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 41st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than slot 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Steal is underselling it; Ray Davis at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 169th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick 202 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They barely believed it either: Trente Jones still on the board at the 219th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A tidy bit of business in No. 245, where Tatum Bethune graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Sundell at the 255th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
