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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Carson Steele, taking him 107 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With edge rusher and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A quiet steal in the 60th overall pick: Payton Wilson for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Elijah Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Jones this early at pick No. 88. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 91st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 4, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kitan Oladapo adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
They reached into another round for Jalen Sundell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in pick No. 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They reached a country mile for Hayden Hatten at the 245th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Value said wait; Jack Westover in pick 255 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
