Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B- weekend for the Packers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Jack Westover at No. 245 is 75 spots clear of where he belonged.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Packers indulged a want in Eichenberg while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 88 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at No. 91, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 126 on Tommy Eichenberg with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at the 169th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, AJ Barner in the 202nd overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at pick No. 219 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Jack Westover at slot 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They went early on Trey Taylor in No. 255, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
