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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaylen Wright; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 29 spots ahead at the 125th pick.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Abrams-Draine makes the weekend a net positive. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 25 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Payton Wilson a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in No. 88. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 29. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 125th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 135 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jase McClellan at pick No. 219. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A slide stopped in slot 246, with Mark Perry worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
