Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

They banked enough surplus on Driskell to cover a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the 41st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 57th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 88 with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in Round 4, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LaDarius Henderson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell slipping to pick No. 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They did well to land Jordan Magee in pick 216, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Nothing to complain about; Jontrey Hunter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
No drama and no debate, Trey Taylor went about where he belonged in slot 251. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
