Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Packers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Nelson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A tidy little value on Kenneth Grant in slot 25, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in No. 54, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick No. 97 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A straight-up fair deal on Dorian Strong at the 124th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 139th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 5, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
A reach for Caleb Ransaw in pick 198; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick 250 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
