Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tez Johnson fell into the Round 4 slot.

The cost of the Simpkins III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 54 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott slipping to slot 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 124th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Kiser at pick No. 198. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 237 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at the 250th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
