Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Rondell Bothroyd at Round 7, Pick 26 regardless, 37 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting McKinstry where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at slot 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A reach for Blake Fisher in No. 92; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at Round 4, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 203rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in No. 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zakhari Franklin in slot 219. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
