Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Carson Steele at the 216th overall pick, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.

The Pearsall pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at slot 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They let Ricky Pearsall come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at Round 3, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A want over a need in the 126th overall pick: Cole Bishop adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick166 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, McCallan Castles at the 166th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in Round 5, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in No. 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Carson Steele
Value said wait; Carson Steele in slot 216 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
