Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers did not so much draft Evan Williams as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hicks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick No. 57 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick 88, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in slot 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A safety of that caliber at the 125th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at the 135th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 203rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
A big swing on Demani Richardson at No. 217, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Nice patience on Jawhar Jordan, who had no business lasting to pick 219. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
