Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Worthy: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Worthy at pick 88 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 41st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They robbed the room for Xavier Worthy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Jaden Hicks while clear needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick 126 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 168th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 28 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A real head-scratcher, Nathaniel Watson in pick 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremy Flax at the 243rd overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
