Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Ethan Onianwa went at the 236th overall pick, a good 81 picks before the board was ready.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Neal pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Hit on Darrell Jackson Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A big swing on Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 52, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Julian Neal at pick 84. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They did well to land Jaeden Roberts in the 120th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 158 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Hall this early at pick No. 199. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Onianwa. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ceyair Wright
They reached a country mile for Ceyair Wright at slot 254, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Roydell Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Roydell Williams at the 257th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
