Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D+
ValueA NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Masses should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a D+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Hezekiah Masses, the 257th overall pick, roughly 130 picks past where he belonged. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

They will need Curry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Terence Steele leading the way.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 28 they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick No. 52 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in slot 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the 86th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 112th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darrell Jackson Jr.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Darrell Jackson Jr. reach pick 148 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in pick 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Bishop Fitzgerald
Taking Bishop Fitzgerald in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Nate Boerkircher in No. 177, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 199 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
The board fumbled Kaleb Elarms-Orr all the way to the 225th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Seth McGowan
Circle this one: Seth McGowan at Round 7, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
They barely believed it either: DJ Campbell still on the board at the 249th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at Round 7, Pick 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hezekiah Masses
They will replay Hezekiah Masses at pick 257 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
