Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers spent real capital to be 67 picks early on Jaylen Wright, and the board is going to hold them to it.

However the rest shakes out, Nabers at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They robbed the room for Joe Alt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in the 41st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 57th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in slot 203. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They barely believed it either: Christian Jones still on the board at Round 6, Pick 42. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at pick No. 246 is money in the bank, a OLB-EDGE taken below his worth. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
