Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for Isaac Guerendo, and it showed at No. 243: 32 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in slot 57, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A curious use of No. 88. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Tykee Smith did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid a round early for Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 91, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
They reached into another round for Dylan Laube, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Good price on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 168, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They took JD Bertrand at par in the 203rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They jumped the gun on Jase McClellan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 23, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Trey Taylor at the 251st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
