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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Arik Gilbert at pick 240, a reach of 27 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Neyor pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 19 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Braswell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A tidy little value on Denzel Burke in Round 2, Pick 19, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in pick 83, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 92nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in No. 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick No. 197 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
They read the board right and Isaiah Neyor was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 42. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Miles Frazier a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Arik Gilbert
They reached into another round for Arik Gilbert, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
