Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Solomon Byrd at pick No. 220 will need to, sitting 37 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Bullard falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 49 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 26. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at slot 91 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A conviction pick on Isaac Guerendo at slot 115 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and pick 126 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid a round early for Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 27. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Bub Means
They reached a country mile for Bub Means at pick No. 219, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at the 220th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in the 245th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rasheen Ali. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
