Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Packers this weekend: C+.

Nobody had Barryn Sorrell this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 78 spots to get him at the 237th pick. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

That Mondon Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

If Will Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They will replay Jack Bech at No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Nice patience on Mason Taylor, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 24. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 124 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 128th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A slide stopped in slot 159, with Logan Brown worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 166 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach the 221st overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No edge and no loss on Teddye Buchanan in the 236th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at Round 7, Pick 21, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in pick 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in No. 250 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
