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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Torricelli Simpkins III, taking him 51 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Taylor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at No. 54 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Farmer in the 87th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at slot 124. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at pick No. 159 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in Round 6, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
You do not let a wide receiver like Roc Taylor reach pick No. 237 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
