Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Hadden fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Kamal Hadden slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Owens reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 125 on Maason Smith with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in slot 168: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamal Hadden in the 201st pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A conviction pick on Tyler Owens at Round 6, Pick 44 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox slid further than he should have, and slot 245 is lovely value for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
No drama and no debate, Ryan Watts went about where he belonged in the 255th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
