Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Clay Webb at the 159th pick is 86 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Ewers at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 23 they get a true top target, and a steal at that.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No drama and no debate, Marcus Mbow went about where he belonged in slot 54. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
The board fumbled Xavier Restrepo all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in Round 4, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at the 159th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 198th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid sticker price for Teddye Buchanan in No. 237, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
They paid a round early for Ben Yurosek in the 250th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
