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

Somebody in pick 255 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Ryan Flournoy, the No. 204 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at No. 58 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They did well to land Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray slid further than he should have, and pick No. 126 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to pick 169. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 202nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They barely believed it either: Ryan Flournoy still on the board at Round 7, Pick 35. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
