Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Packers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 87th pick, a reach of 90 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

However the rest shakes out, Gordon II at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 23rd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 54 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cobee Bryant in the Round 4 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Shemar James
A wild overpay on Shemar James in Round 5, Pick 21, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 198 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at the 237th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
