Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Packers bypassed quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot, a spot they had covered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Wright proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 25 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in slot 125. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 135th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Green. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick217 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
By-the-book stuff, J.J. Weaver at the 219th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at pick 246, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
