Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Packers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Carson Steele pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 70 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 49th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A slide stopped in pick 66, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They liked Jaden Hicks enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 7. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 88 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beaux Limmer well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Will Shipley
They paid a round early for Will Shipley in the 97th pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach on Javon Foster in the 104th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at No. 115 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Anthony Gould
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Gould a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in pick No. 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They left a pile of value on the table to take JD Bertrand this early at the Round 6 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
