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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Taulia Tagovailoa a full 32 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 168 with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Jase McClellan graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 216th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 243, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in No. 251 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
