Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Nesbit: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bryson Nesbit slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Estime to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nice patience on Jordan Morgan, who had no business lasting to slot 41. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at No. 61 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They barely believed it either: Javon Bullard still on the board at the 88th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They went early on Audric Estime in pick No. 92, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 99th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in pick 125, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid a round early for Luke McCaffrey in Round 4, Pick 35, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at slot 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 6, Pick 42 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No edge and no loss on De'Corian Clark in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Circle this one: Bryson Nesbit at No. 246 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
