Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Evan Williams a full 55 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Smith-Wade to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They let Malachi Corley come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaden Hicks a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They took Daequan Hardy at par in slot 243, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A big swing on Evan Williams at No. 251, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
