Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Isaac Guerendo at No. 127 is 50 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. 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.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the 41st pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A reach for Jaden Hicks in Round 2, Pick 26; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 204 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts in pick 243 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anim Dankwah. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
