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 Logan Taylor; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at the 236th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Hecht steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick 52 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 84th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at pick No. 120 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson at Round 5, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Domani Jackson in No. 160 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron at slot 201 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
They paid sticker price for Desmond Reid in slot 255, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
