Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureC+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 48 spots for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and value like that does not grow back.

Getting Cypress II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 21 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid up for Tyler Guyton at pick No. 41 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the 57th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at slot 88 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 James Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Williams this early at Round 3, Pick 29. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick 125 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at Round 4, Pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 203rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Donell Harris Jr.
Value said wait; Donell Harris Jr. in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Value with a capital V on Fentrell Cypress II in the 246th overall pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
