Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on McKade Mettauer; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 62 spots ahead at the 243rd pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Neyor to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick 41 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in No. 88, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 91. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in slot 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
They paid a round early for Nathan Thomas in the 168th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun in pick No. 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
They talked themselves into McKade Mettauer at No. 243, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Taking Isaiah Neyor in Round 7, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
