Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Nobody else had Addison West anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Packers did, by 71 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Horton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They reached into another round for Denzel Burke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Addison West
They left a pile of value on the table to take Addison West this early at No. 123. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 160th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
You do not let a running back like Phil Mafah reach slot 200 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shemar James
The board had Shemar James higher than pick No. 239, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
