Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent the 87th pick on Sai'vion Jones, a name the board had a full 61 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Pegues to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 54th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at pick 87, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 123 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Monheim in pick No. 160. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 6, Pick 22 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 239th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in No. 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
