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

When a board-topper like Curtis Jacobs slides to pick No. 219, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Coleman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
They paid a round early for Ladd McConkey in the 25th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in slot 88. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at the 91st pick when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in No. 126: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
They jumped the gun on Brandon Coleman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
The board had Daijun Edwards higher than pick 202, and the running back fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Taking Curtis Jacobs in the 219th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at pick No. 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Watts at No. 255, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
