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

The Evan Williams pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 63 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Burton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at slot 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A premium they did not need to pay, Will Shipley a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Good price on Jaylen Wright in the 168th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 28 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Taking Josh Proctor in pick 216 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at No. 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 251 that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
