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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at the 250th pick, a reach of 40 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Banks Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 23 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 54 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A premium they did not need to pay, Zy Alexander a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 237 with a little surplus value in Cam Jackson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in No. 250, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
