Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

The Packers did not so much draft Caden Prieskorn as overpay for him, 171 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 23rd overall pick they get an island corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A wild overpay on Jordan Burch in pick 54, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 124 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in the 159th pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at No. 198 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in Round 7, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dontae Manning
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dontae Manning. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
