Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Solomon Byrd; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 38 spots ahead at pick No. 219. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 DJ James
Nothing to complain about; DJ James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in pick 88 with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 91st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Davis in No. 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 202nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Nice patience on Michael Barrett, who had no business lasting to pick No. 245. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A slide stopped in pick 255, with KT Leveston worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
