Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Layden Robinson at slot 135 is 28 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 25th pick they get a rangy last line of defense, reach and all.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 57 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tykee Smith adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in the 125th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Layden Robinson
A wild overpay on Layden Robinson in Round 4, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at slot 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They went early on Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in the 219th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
