Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers spent real capital to be 32 picks early on Dominique Hampton, and the board is going to hold them to it.

On value alone, Haynes makes the weekend a net positive. The Packers indulged a want in Wilson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A curious use of the 58th pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Payton Wilson did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Steal is underselling it; Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in pick No. 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in pick 169 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at the 202nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Fair-plus on Caedan Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 245th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at slot 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
