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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Joshua Cephus a full 27 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Goncalves.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In pick No. 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at slot 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They read the board right and Christian Mahogany was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in the 92nd pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach pick 125 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarrian Jones at slot 135 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Cephus this early at Round 6, Pick 28. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Value with a capital V on Omar Speights in pick 217, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 219th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A straight-up fair deal on Walter Rouse at pick No. 246, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
