Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Devonshire at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cost of the Ali reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
A straight-up fair deal on Graham Barton at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 58 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid up for Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 25 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 91st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than pick 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They went early on Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 169, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Nice patience on M.J. Devonshire, who had no business lasting to the 202nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caedan Wallace in No. 219. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
A conviction pick on Rasheen Ali at pick 245 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Sundell in slot 255. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
