Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jermaine Mathews Jr., taking him 57 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Neal steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 60, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Julian Neal
The board had Julian Neal higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 4, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in No. 168, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in pick 208, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb at slot 243 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at slot 255 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
