Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If Hopper 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.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They jumped the gun on Edgerrin Cooper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 58th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in Round 3, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They liked Ty'Ron Hopper enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 169. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at No. 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 219th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bub Means
No edge and no loss on Bub Means in slot 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
