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

The war room fell hard for Isaac Guerendo, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 58th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 25 leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A big swing on Darius Robinson at pick 91, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They paid a round early for Cam Hart in No. 127, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A tidy little value on Jaylen Wright in pick No. 168, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 204th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Neyor in pick 216, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in No. 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 251 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
