Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Packers. For now, C+.

Some picks age like wine; Darius Robinson at No. 91 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade.

The Hicks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Jaden Hicks, a safety they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 91st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the 126th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 32. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tarheeb Still
Nothing to complain about; Tarheeb Still went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Watts
A conviction pick on Ryan Watts at slot 216 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 243rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
