Draft Grade — Packers

Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Jackson Slater as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Morrison that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 23 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Value with a capital V on Benjamin Morrison in the 54th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They did well to land Andrew Mukuba in pick 87, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A big swing on Jackson Slater at Round 4, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in the 159th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 237th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
