Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers bet big and early on Brennan Armstrong, 29 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mahogany.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in No. 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 57th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Nothing to complain about; Josh Newton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in the 91st pick, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 126, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and the 168th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Eguakun. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at No. 216 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
Brennan Armstrong in the 243rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No drama and no debate, Eric Gentry went about where he belonged in pick No. 251. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
