Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Zeek Biggers at No. 198 is 59 spots clear of where he belonged.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

If Nick Emmanwori and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 23 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in Round 2, Pick 22 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in pick 87, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick No. 124 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in the 250th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
