Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Packers let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Brooks, the No. 198 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at pick No. 54, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 124th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in No. 159 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 198th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at slot 237 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 34, where Isaac TeSlaa graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
