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

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 126 on Jaylen Wright a full 37 spots early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Thomas Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 74 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 110 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Will Shipley
A tidy bit of business in slot 142, where Will Shipley graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 168th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A wild overpay on Daequan Hardy in the 216th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in pick 243 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They liked Nathaniel Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 31. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
