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

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 168 name on the board, sitting there at the 216th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Reaching for Wright left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A reach for Chop Robinson in pick No. 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 41st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 57 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent slot 91 on Jaden Hicks, a safety they were not short of.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in No. 126 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 168th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach Round 6, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Fair-plus on Darius Muasau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 251st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
