Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalyx Hunt at slot 126, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 26 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 58 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Nothing to complain about; Calen Bullock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 89th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at pick 91 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Value said wait; Jalyx Hunt in Round 4, Pick 26 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 169 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Fair-plus on Evan Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid a round early for Sam Hartman in No. 245, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 255th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
