Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers spent real capital to be 48 picks early on Caden Curry, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Everette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at Round 2, Pick 20 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at the 84th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
A tidy bit of business in slot 153, where Chris McClellan graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A wild overpay on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 160th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick201 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Taylen Green. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen in No. 236 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey at Round 7, Pick 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
