Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kingsley Eguakun in slot 251, a good 31 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Getting Milton III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid up for Patrick Paul at pick 58 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 88 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in No. 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, McKinnley Jackson in the 127th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than the 168th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 204 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III slipping to the 216th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Value with a capital V on Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 23, a genuine coup. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Eguakun. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
