Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Evan Williams, 55 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That Phillips pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They read the board right and Nate Wiggins was the payoff at pick No. 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They jumped the gun on Tykee Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They let Malachi Corley come to them and pounced at the 91st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They liked Cedric Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 26. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in slot 168 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in the 203rd overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Andru Phillips in No. 216, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in the 251st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
