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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Packers walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. If Cooper pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at slot 41 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 58th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No edge and no loss on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They let Elijah Jones come to them and pounced at the 126th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They took Malik Mustapha at par in No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 202 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in slot 219. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 245 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 255th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
