Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 29 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hicks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin slid further than he should have, and No. 41 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at pick 88, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 135 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A quiet steal in No. 203: Christian Jones for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 217th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
They reached a country mile for Tatum Bethune at Round 6, Pick 44, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in the 246th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
