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

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 255 on Zion Logue a full 35 spots early.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A reach on Junior Colson in the 41st pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A clean, defensible pick in No. 169 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Davis. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 219th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at Round 7, Pick 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
