Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Somebody in the 87th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Donovan Jackson, the No. 64 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Prather reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A big swing on Maxwell Hairston at No. 54, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the 124th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
The board had Logan Brown higher than pick No. 159, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They jumped the gun on Jordan Hancock, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamon Dumas-Johnson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
