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

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Al Blades Jr., 45 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the 25th pick they get an island corner, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They reached into another round for Edgerrin Cooper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid a round early for Javon Bullard in pick 57, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 88. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 91st overall pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They let Javon Foster come to them and pounced at No. 135. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slid further than he should have, and the 217th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in Round 6, Pick 44 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Al Blades Jr.
Al Blades Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
