Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. MJ Sherman went at pick No. 246, a good 35 picks before the board was ready.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Haynes pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece, even if it was a touch early.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 9, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 57th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in No. 88. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They let Christian Haynes come to them and pounced at the 92nd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
They paid sticker price for Johnny Dixon in slot 125, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
They reached into another round for David Ugwoegbu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They liked Matthew Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 217. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in the 219th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for MJ Sherman. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
