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

The Packers torched the value chart for Jack Kiser, taking him 23 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Hairston steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 54 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in the 87th overall pick, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick 124 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kiser well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 22. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board had Phil Mafah higher than Round 7, Pick 21, and the running back fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They paid sticker price for Ty Hamilton in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
