Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Packers land in the muddy middle: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Kyle Hergel, 88 picks ahead of schedule. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The McCarthy steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 91 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick 126, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 169th pick is lovely value for the safety. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick205 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in pick 205, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 219 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
They reached into another round for C.J. Hanson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevin Wallace at pick No. 247. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A wild overpay on Dylan McMahon in the 249th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 35, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kyle Hergel
Kyle Hergel at the 256th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Frank Crum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
