Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B.

The war room fell hard for Marist Liufau, and it showed at pick 91: 73 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper DeJean. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Suamataia in the 41st pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 62 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marist Liufau. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at No. 113, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Davis at pick No. 165. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Williams
You do not let a linebacker like James Williams reach slot 169 and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 219th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Circle this one: Frank Gore Jr. at the 245th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at No. 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
