Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 200: the Packers steal Gabriel and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 132 name on the board, stolen at No. 200.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 23rd pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than the 87th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach pick 89 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 4, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They will replay Ozzy Trapilo at slot 123 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 158 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Emery Jones Jr. at No. 160 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in Round 6, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
The board fumbled KeAndre Lambert-Smith all the way to pick 243, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They barely believed it either: Trevor Etienne still on the board at No. 251. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
