Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kaimon Rucker at the 95th overall pick is 60 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

On value alone, Rogers makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 54; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No edge and no loss on Darius Alexander in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Value said wait; Kaimon Rucker in slot 95 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at pick 124 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They paid a round early for Jay Higgins in pick 198, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Steal is underselling it; Caleb Rogers at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They took LaJohntay Wester at par in No. 250, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
