Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Gabriel: B+.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 132 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They are betting Garcia proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Ahkello Witherspoon pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 26th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in the 54th pick, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Fair-plus on Denzel Burke, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 4, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Somehow JJ Pegues was still sitting there in pick 200, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They read the board right and Luke Lachey was the payoff at No. 202. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick239 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They barely believed it either: Carson Vinson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 21. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at the 251st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
