Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Brooks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in slot 237 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Tahj Brooks, the No. 124 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hairston pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mike Green
Fair-plus on Mike Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxwell Hairston well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 87th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at Round 5, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at No. 196. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to pick No. 237, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They will replay Miles Frazier at slot 250 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
