Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Tahj Washington pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 145 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 41st pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 57th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ray Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ray Davis in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
They talked themselves into Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 135, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in No. 203, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A real head-scratcher, Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 42 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They did well to land Jalen Green in the 219th pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A reach for Xavier Thomas in pick 246; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
