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

The Packers torched the value chart for Jaylen Wright, taking him 75 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Jenkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at pick 57. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 88th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Good price on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 168, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in pick 203, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 243, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 31, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
