Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Trente Jones, the No. 195 name on the board, sitting there at the 219th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They are betting Hanson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and the 41st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 91st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in Round 5, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They robbed the room for Trente Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, C.J. Hanson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 255th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
