Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Phillip Webb at pick No. 239 is 101 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Alexander steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A tidy little value on Tre Harris in the 54th pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius is a better player than the 123rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 21. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in No. 200 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in pick No. 239 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
