Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Simpson. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 154 name on the board, stolen at pick 203. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Dorlus pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 41, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Dorlus a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
By-the-book stuff, Mason McCormick at No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Marist Liufau in Round 4, Pick 26, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
You do not let a safety like Malik Mustapha reach the 168th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
The board had Christian Jones higher than the 216th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at the 243rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Somehow Kenny Logan Jr. was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 31, and they pounced on premier safety value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
