Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 35 spots for Jordan Burch, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Pegues to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Value said wait; Jordan Burch in No. 54 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
No drama and no debate, Nohl Williams went about where he belonged in pick 124. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A tidy bit of business in slot 159, where Nick Nash graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slid further than he should have, and the 198th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 John Williams
A wild overpay on John Williams in the 237th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
