Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers let Klare fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Max Klare, the No. 78 name on the board, in the 156th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Steal is underselling it; Colton Hood at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Gennings Dunker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 115 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 4, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick129 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Treydan Stukes in the 129th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Max Klare
Taking Max Klare in pick No. 156 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Charles Demmings in pick 160. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Albert Regis
Somehow Albert Regis was still sitting there in No. 201, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the 211th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington slid further than he should have, and the 236th pick is lovely value for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Zuhn III at pick 255. It fills a real need, too.
