Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Trey Wedig; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 85 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 54 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A conviction pick on Jared Wilson at the 87th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in the 130th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They took Jay Higgins at par in Round 6, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the 228th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
The board had cheaper options than Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at No. 244 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in pick 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
