Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kenny Logan Jr., 47 picks early at No. 204.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Legette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at slot 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at the 58th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 88th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than pick 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A conviction pick on Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 27 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 168th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A big swing on Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 204, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid a round early for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick No. 216, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
The board had cheaper options than Tatum Bethune at the 243rd pick, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
