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

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Rondell Bothroyd, 40 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Nubin steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 25 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They paid up for Mekhi Wingo at the 57th pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
No drama and no debate, Audric Estime went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 135 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A wild overpay on Trevor Keegan in slot 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A tidy little value on Jalen Green in the 217th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at No. 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
