Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Devin Leary at No. 245, roughly 62 spots before his name belonged.

McGlothern at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 25th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 58th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Elijah Jones
They reached into another round for Elijah Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
They jumped the gun on Tip Reiman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 202 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Julian Pearl at the Round 6 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary at pick No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than pick 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
