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

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Matthew Jones at Round 6, Pick 41 regardless, 34 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 41, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LaDarius Henderson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They jumped the gun on Jalen Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They will replay Isaiah Neyor at pick No. 243 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in No. 251 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
