Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Nobody else had Jalen Travis anywhere near the 250th overall pick. The Packers did, by 39 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 23rd overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in slot 87. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at No. 109, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slipping to Round 4, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Cody Simon, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 159 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
They reached a country mile for Fadil Diggs at the 198th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Vinson in pick 206, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They went early on Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 237, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at the 250th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
