Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Brennan Armstrong, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Value said wait; T'Vondre Sweat in pick 41 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in the 88th pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They took Audric Estime at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in pick 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at the 217th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Brennan Armstrong
Brennan Armstrong at pick No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zion Logue
No drama and no debate, Zion Logue went about where he belonged in the 246th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
