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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylan Ford in pick No. 127, a good 68 spots before the room expected him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 58th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jaylan Ford while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
A reach on Isaac Guerendo in the 168th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They liked Josh Proctor enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 204. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Harrell went about where he belonged in pick No. 216. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They went early on Ryan Watts in pick 243, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
A big swing on Anim Dankwah at No. 251, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
