Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Francisco Mauigoa, 63 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, Azareye'h Thomas a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 54 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Farmer. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 100th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at the 124th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 159, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in pick 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick237 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa in slot 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
By-the-book stuff, Zeek Biggers at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
