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

The needs board said one thing and the Packers did another, using pick 91 on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson while cornerback, quarterback and other spots waited. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will need Hampton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. However the rest shakes out, Tracy Jr. at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in Round 2, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson with cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at slot 169 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at pick 202, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
A reach for Dominique Hampton in No. 219; a little patience would have been rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid up for Tyrice Knight at slot 245 when waiting would have done the job. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Value with a capital V on Jalen Sundell in No. 255, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
