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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Jackson Sirmon at Round 7, Pick 25 is 52 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at pick No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 25, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in pick 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in pick 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon slipping to slot 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
They reached a country mile for Jalen Sundell at No. 219, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jackson Sirmon
They reached into another round for Jackson Sirmon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 255. It fills a real need, too.
