Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Hayden Conner, 33 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Nelson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid a round early for Trey Amos in No. 38, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in the 54th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in pick 77, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A premium they did not need to pay, Ashton Gillotte a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reach for Hollin Pierce in Round 4, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in Round 5, Pick 21, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A quiet steal in pick 198: Jack Nelson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 250 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
