Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Nobody had Zion Logue this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 46 spots to get him at slot 243.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 25th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
The board had cheaper options than Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 9, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A curious use of No. 58. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Jaden Hicks did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 88th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in slot 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 127 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dillon Johnson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A reach for Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Watts
Value said wait; Ryan Watts in slot 216 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in pick No. 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They liked De'Corian Clark enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 251. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
