Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Gore Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent pick No. 91 on Cole Bishop while cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat unaddressed. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Gore Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid up for Kris Jenkins at pick 41 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With cornerback, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 28 on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 169th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A reach for Garret Greenfield in pick No. 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 219 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Frank Gore Jr. in slot 245, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell is a better player than the 255th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
