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

Nobody else had Zion Logue anywhere near No. 243. The Packers did, by 47 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and wide receiver went begging. Turner falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Nice patience on Dallas Turner, who had no business lasting to the Round 1 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in No. 58 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Beau Brade in the 127th pick leaves quarterback and wide receiver for later.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 168 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 204th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They paid sticker price for Tanner McLachlan in No. 216, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They took Ryan Watts at par in pick 251, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
