Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Mafah fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Phil Mafah, the No. 222 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 250. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Cross III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 23 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid up for Zy Alexander at the 87th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 159 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at pick 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board fumbled Phil Mafah all the way to the 250th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
