Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Reed from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylen Reed, pick No. 237, roughly 54 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Carroll left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 23rd pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at slot 65, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They let Darien Porter come to them and pounced at pick 87. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 124 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Darius Alexander at the 159th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Circle this one: Connor Colby at No. 198 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in Round 7, Pick 3 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick250 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
Value said wait; Quinn Carroll in the 250th overall pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
