Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Packers torched the value chart for DeMonte Capehart, taking him 46 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A clean, defensible pick in pick 25 with a little surplus value in Amarius Mims. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Payton Wilson a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They let Malachi Corley come to them and pounced at pick No. 88. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Beau Brade at the 125th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in Round 4, Pick 35, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Nothing to complain about; Braiden McGregor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in No. 217 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in pick 219 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They read the board right and Mark Perry was the payoff at pick No. 246. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
