Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Williams from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: James Williams, the 169th overall pick, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged.

If Hall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 25 with a little surplus value in Quinyon Mitchell. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They barely believed it either: Taliese Fuaga still on the board at No. 41. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A tidy little value on Payton Wilson in the 58th pick, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 89th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Williams
They will replay James Williams at Round 5, Pick 33 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
The board had Nathan Thomas higher than pick 245, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Somehow Edefuan Ulofoshio was still sitting there in the 255th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
