Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tylan Grable at the Round 7 slot is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wright.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Wright in the 88th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 127 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
No edge and no loss on Jalyx Hunt in the 168th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 204 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They reached into another round for Tylan Grable, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
