Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Packers let Wallace fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Caedan Wallace sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 35, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Spann-Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
A quiet steal in pick 88: Max Melton for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They went early on Cole Bishop in the 91st pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in pick No. 126, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 169th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards slipping to pick 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 212th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
The board fumbled Caedan Wallace all the way to No. 255, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
