Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Charles Turner III at the 251st overall pick, roughly 60 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They banked enough surplus on Simpson to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in the 57th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
No edge and no loss on McKinnley Jackson in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jaden Hicks at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A slide stopped in pick 168, with Jaylin Simpson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 203 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They paid up for J.J. Weaver at the 216th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nathaniel Watson in slot 243. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick251 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
They reached into another round for Charles Turner III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
