Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Hykeem Williams, taking him 29 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 61st pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in pick 84 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in No. 158 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reach on Matt Gulbin in pick No. 167; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A slide stopped in the 199th overall pick, with Taylen Green worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
This one needs a full-page explanation: Deven Eastern in slot 254, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hykeem Williams this early at pick No. 257. It fills a real need, too.
