Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Gould: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Anthony Gould had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 25, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 25 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at the 88th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Circle this one: Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 169th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 219th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 245th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
You do not let a safety like Evan Williams reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
