Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD- FutureB-
The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Solomon Byrd a full 42 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Wilson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Hit on Junior Colson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick52 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A surprising call. With wide receiver and tight end still to address, they spent pick 52 on Payton Wilson, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at linebacker with wide receiver and tight end open.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in slot 88 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 91st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
They reached a country mile for Jarrian Jones at slot 98, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 99th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 169 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at pick 202, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
A wild overpay on Solomon Byrd in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
