Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Phillip Webb at pick 237 is 88 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Horton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 27th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They liked Jayden Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 54. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jackson at the 91st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cody Simon
By-the-book stuff, Cody Simon at Round 4, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Taking Tory Horton in pick No. 136 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 198 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 203rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at No. 237, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at Round 7, Pick 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
