Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Driskell should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ethan Driskell slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 203rd overall pick. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Wright to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Chris Braswell. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the 92nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Somehow Jaden Hicks was still sitting there in pick No. 125, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 135th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They will replay Ethan Driskell at slot 203 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in pick 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
By-the-book stuff, Daequan Hardy at the 219th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
