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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Xavier Thomas at Round 6, Pick 42, a reach of 56 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 73rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 18. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in slot 109. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They jumped the gun on MarShawn Lloyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Value said wait; Zy Alexander in No. 187 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 217th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jason Henderson
They reached into another round for Jason Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Batty at pick No. 230, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
