Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylan Ford in the 156th overall pick, a good 39 spots before the room expected him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots went begging. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 25, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 42nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Kinchens at pick 58, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in slot 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, McKinnley Jackson in slot 127. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in No. 150, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 156 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 168th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in KT Leveston. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 251st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
