Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

Nobody else had Vernon Broughton anywhere near Round 5, Pick 21. The Packers did, by 26 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barron. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 23 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in the 159th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 198, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
The board had Jermari Harris higher than pick No. 237, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They paid a round early for Hayden Conner in the 250th pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
