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

Some picks age like wine; Matthew Jones at No. 203 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Tampa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at No. 57. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in the 92nd pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They did well to land Bucky Irving in the 97th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in slot 125 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than the Round 4 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at Round 5, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy bit of business in No. 163, where Ty'Ron Hopper graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 203 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
They reached a country mile for Maurice Smith at pick 217, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. is a better player than the 219th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the 246th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Carson Steele
No drama and no debate, Carson Steele went about where he belonged in slot 248. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
