Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Evan Williams, 31 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Kinchens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The Hicks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in pick No. 25. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 41. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They will replay Kamren Kinchens at the 57th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 28 on Jaden Hicks with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at pick 126, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 168th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Davis still on the board at pick 203. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jennings. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A real head-scratcher, Evan Williams in slot 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
