Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers spent real capital to be 53 picks early on Zeek Biggers, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 31st overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in No. 54, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 66 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick 95 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 124th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
A wild overpay on Zeek Biggers in Round 6, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A clean, defensible pick in pick 237 with a little surplus value in Bilhal Kone. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at slot 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
