Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jalen Travis at the 237th overall pick is 50 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 23 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in Round 2, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 87th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 124 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in No. 159 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had Dont'e Thornton Jr. higher than the Round 6 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at the 237th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
They let Mac McWilliams come to them and pounced at pick 250. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
