Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Drake Nugent at the 169th pick, a reach of 41 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

With running back, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 25th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 26 on Junior Colson with running back, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 88 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They paid a round early for Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in No. 219 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick No. 245 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at the 255th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
