Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Zen Michalski, and it showed at No. 257: 30 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Davis at that price is a win they earned.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 62nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
No edge and no loss on Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at pick No. 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Circle this one: Tacario Davis at slot 130 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at the 199th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A reach for Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They went early on Roman Hemby in the 254th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zen Michalski in No. 257, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
