Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent slot 202 on Sam Hartman, a name most had 56 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Wilson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, tight end and other spots still on the board. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reach on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots to take Payton Wilson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They jumped the gun on Khristian Boyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at slot 202, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kimani Vidal well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
A tidy bit of business in pick 245, where Dominique Hampton graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A real head-scratcher, Frank Crum in the 255th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
