Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jasheen Davis pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 105 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Leonard. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 23rd overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 54th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Somehow Jayden Higgins was still sitting there in slot 87, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to Round 4, Pick 22, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A tidy bit of business in No. 126, where Jacob Parrish graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cody Simon at pick 142 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
The board had Logan Brown higher than Round 5, Pick 21, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
They will replay Riley Leonard at pick 194 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 198th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Value said wait; Drew Kendall in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at No. 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
