Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Simpson should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 151 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 217 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in pick No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker slipping to pick 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than slot 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the 135th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They robbed the room for Ty'Ron Hopper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in pick 219 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in the 246th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
