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

The Packers bet big and early on Jaylon Carlies, 68 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Wright makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They went early on Malachi Corley in No. 41, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Hicks at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Wright still on the board at slot 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andru Phillips at the 91st pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
They talked themselves into Trevin Wallace at the 126th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 169th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at Round 6, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
The board had cheaper options than Garret Greenfield at the 219th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts in pick No. 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
