Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Kyle Hergel at Round 7, Pick 31 will need to, sitting 103 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Ford falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in No. 41, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in the 58th overall pick, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in pick 88, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 91st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo is a better player than Round 5, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 204, where Tahj Washington graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the 243rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kyle Hergel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Hergel in slot 251, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
