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

Nobody had Xavier Thomas this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 27 spots to get him at slot 219.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wright falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at slot 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Fair-plus on Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 92 with a little surplus value in Michael Hall Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy little value on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in the 135th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 138th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright is a better player than the 164th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Nothing to complain about; Miyan Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 6, Pick 42 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at slot 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Value with a capital V on Demani Richardson in pick No. 246, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
