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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 40 spots for Frank Crum, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Melton to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at slot 41 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 58th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Max Melton worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at slot 169 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They jumped the gun on Garret Greenfield, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Magee at the 219th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings in pick 245 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. A need, and now a little less of one.
