Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Joe Milton III went at pick No. 169, a good 31 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Mitchell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at No. 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick 91, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 126th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at pick No. 169. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They talked themselves into Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Fair-plus on Garret Greenfield, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid up for Kimani Vidal at pick 245 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
