Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Baron at pick No. 124 regardless, 38 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on McMillan to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 54 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 62nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A conviction pick on Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in slot 124, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 159th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They took Jermari Harris at par in the 237th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at No. 250, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
