Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Packers let Wilson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Payton Wilson, the No. 57 name on the board, stolen at the 88th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 60, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Payton Wilson reach the 88th pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Taking Will Shipley in No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at slot 163 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 169th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy slipping to the 219th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
A slide stopped in the 245th overall pick, with Tylan Grable worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They let Edefuan Ulofoshio come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at Round 7, Pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
