Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Drake Nugent. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Leveston steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Nothing to complain about; Byron Murphy II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick No. 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in slot 91. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 4, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at Round 5, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Harrell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They took Josh Proctor at par in No. 216, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at slot 243 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A slide stopped in the 251st pick, with KT Leveston worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
