Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Que Robinson in the 159th pick.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Howard. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 54th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in pick 64, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Will Howard
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They reached into another round for Que Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 168th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jamon Dumas-Johnson went about where he belonged in the 237th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 250 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
