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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent the 237th overall pick on Phillip Webb, a name most had 108 spots down the list.

The Parrish pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at slot 87 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
The board had Anthony Belton higher than pick No. 124, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 159 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 198th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They reached a country mile for Phillip Webb at the 237th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 250 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
