Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Isaiah Williams, the No. 180 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 255.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Taking Chop Robinson in the 41st pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 58th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They barely believed it either: Junior Colson still on the board at No. 88. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ James
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 126 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
The board fumbled Trevor Keegan all the way to pick 169, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Isaiah Davis in pick No. 202, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 245th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at No. 255 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
