Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Elijah Jones, 25 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Landing Shipley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A tidy little value on Braden Fiske in No. 58, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 88th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick 91. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick No. 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 5, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at slot 204. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
No edge and no loss on Tyrice Knight in the 216th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Value with a capital V on Evan Williams in pick No. 251, a genuine coup. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
