Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Drew Kendall, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Horton to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 54 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in slot 87. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton slid further than he should have, and the 124th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Brown in the 159th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in Round 6, Pick 22, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 237 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick250 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in Round 7, Pick 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
