Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Wiley: B.

When a board-topper like Michael Wiley slides to No. 246, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 25 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Steal is underselling it; Dallas Turner at pick 41 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They will replay Nate Wiggins at the 57th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Daijun Edwards
They did well to land Daijun Edwards in slot 135, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A tidy bit of business in the 203rd overall pick, where Ethan Driskell graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Circle this one: JD Bertrand at pick 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Somehow Michael Wiley was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier running back value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
