Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Tyler Baron, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in pick No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 87th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Baron well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to Round 4, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick 159 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 198 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
By-the-book stuff, Desmond Watson at pick 237 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid a round early for Jaylin Smith in slot 250, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Value said wait; Ethan Downs in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
