Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but CJ West at slot 124 is 63 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Harris pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maxwell Hairston this early at the 54th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 CJ West
CJ West at the 124th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
