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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Thomas Collins at No. 254 is 34 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II is a better player than the 85th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in pick No. 121 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Value with a capital V on Chris Johnson in Round 4, Pick 24, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Nice patience on Max Iheanachor, who had no business lasting to No. 160. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at No. 237 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thomas Collins. A need, and now a little less of one.
