Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Packers spent real capital to be 56 picks early on Cedric Gray, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Trey Smith leading the way.

The Hampton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 32 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cedric Gray
A big swing on Cedric Gray at slot 58, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick 126 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 138 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 169th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 202nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at slot 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 25, where Dominique Hampton graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in pick 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
