Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 254 on Khordae Sydnor a full 219 spots early. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
That Brooks pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In slot 23 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick 54 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They paid a round early for Quinn Ewers in Round 3, Pick 23, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 105th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 106th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Taking Jalen Royals in pick No. 107 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at the 109th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 110 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A big swing on Rylie Mills at the 111th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to Round 4, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
Steal is underselling it; Tate Ratledge at slot 113 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 114 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 4, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 122nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick 141, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 142nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 150 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 151 is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Simon in No. 152. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 153rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 180th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184
Rnd6
Nohl Williams
They reached a country mile for Nohl Williams at No. 184, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Somehow Oronde Gadsden II was still sitting there in pick No. 187, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at Round 6, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick199
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
The board fumbled Mitchell Evans all the way to slot 199, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Howard Cross III reach the 200th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 221st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Addison West
They will replay Addison West at No. 224 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in pick 231, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick232
Rnd7
Kobe King
Kobe King in slot 232 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick237
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at pick No. 237. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 7, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ben Sauls
Circle this one: Ben Sauls at pick 251 is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252
Rnd7
Fred Davis
They reached into another round for Fred Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor in No. 254 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
