Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Packers.

Nobody had Hunter Nourzad this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 59 spots to get him at the Round 4 slot. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Verse that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60 Rnd2 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 96 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Value said wait; Kamal Hadden in Round 4, Pick 27 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 129th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had cheaper options than Luke McCaffrey at No. 152, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A tidy little value on Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 29 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Owens a notch or two before his time. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
A reach on Ro Torrence in slot 251; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
