Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Kyle Hergel a full 89 spots early. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Tracy Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

If Kool-Aid McKinstry and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Hicks in Round 2, Pick 26, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in No. 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
The board fumbled Dallin Holker all the way to slot 169, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 171 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the 172nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They robbed the room for Tyrone Tracy Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trente Jones reach Round 6, Pick 44 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
They reached a country mile for Nick Gargiulo at the 245th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyle Hergel
Kyle Hergel at pick No. 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
