Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jason Marshall Jr. in the 164th overall pick, a good 44 spots before the room expected him. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 23 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in the 54th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They went early on Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 96, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 124 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They paid a round early for Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the 159th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jason Marshall Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
They liked Caleb Ransaw enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick237 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A reach for CJ Dippre in slot 237; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 250 squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
