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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Jaylen Wright at pick 126, roughly 37 spots before his name belonged.

Getting Ford where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They let Troy Fautanu come to them and pounced at the 41st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at pick No. 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They jumped the gun on Jaden Hicks, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 5, Pick 32, just ahead of his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Taking Jaylan Ford in the 203rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at the 216th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick243 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at pick 243, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They paid up for Nathaniel Watson at No. 251 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
