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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Riley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 23rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 159 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
