Green Bay Packers
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

2024 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 2 steals
· 2 reaches
For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Davis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Rosengarten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
Dallas Turner at the 25th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Khyree Jackson in No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A premium they did not need to pay, Roger Rosengarten a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in the 138th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board had Isaiah Davis higher than slot 169, and the running back fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Nothing to complain about; Nathaniel Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Tyler Owens at No. 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
