Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Jack Kiser at pick 159, roughly 23 spots before his name belonged.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 54 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They jumped the gun on Ashton Gillotte, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Value with a capital V on Jordan Phillips in slot 124, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kiser well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
