Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Packers won the night they stopped Barron from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jahdae Barron, the No. 12 name on the board, in pick 216. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at Round 2, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick 67. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 87, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Somehow Jayden Higgins was still sitting there in No. 124, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in slot 159 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 179th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at the 235th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at pick No. 237 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at pick 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
