Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C+.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jaden Hicks, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Rice falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 19 they get a wrecking ball inside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick40 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A conviction pick on Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 8 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 51 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at the 83rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They talked themselves into Payton Wilson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
