Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Some picks age like wine; J.J. Weaver at pick No. 250 will need to, sitting 92 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They talked themselves into Ashton Gillotte at slot 33, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayden Higgins this early at Round 2, Pick 24. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 67th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Daylen Everette well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 125 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 159 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 199 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at pick No. 250, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
