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

Nobody else had Aidan Chiles anywhere near the 215th overall pick. The Packers did, by 222 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Pieper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Brown pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Greg Johnson
A quiet steal in No. 53: Greg Johnson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in Round 3, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sammy Brown
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 99 on Sammy Brown with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jaylen McClain at safety with edge rusher, running back and other spots open.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They robbed the room for Jermaine Mathews Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Drew Azzopardi
Drew Azzopardi in pick 175 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Aidan Chiles
Value said wait; Aidan Chiles in the 215th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Stewart well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
