Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The West pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 24 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They went early on Ashton Gillotte in the 87th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant slipping to slot 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
The board had cheaper options than Hollin Pierce at the 124th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in Round 5, Pick 21, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at pick 198 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They did well to land Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 237, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick 250 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
