Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Dwight McGlothern went at the 217th overall pick, a good 32 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 57 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at pick 88, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A reach on Jaden Hicks in slot 92; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at pick No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Value said wait; Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
This one needs a full-page explanation: Walter Rouse in pick 219, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Good price on Ja'Had Carter in No. 246, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
