Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA
FutureB-
The Packers let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamal Hadden, the Round 6 slot, roughly 51 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Ezirim pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 91st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at No. 105 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis in slot 110 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Taking Cam Hart in pick No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick No. 219 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach Round 7, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They reached a country mile for Trey Taylor at slot 245, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick253
Rnd7
Nick Gargiulo
A big swing on Nick Gargiulo at the 253rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
Josiah Ezirim at pick 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Somehow Trevin Wallace was still sitting there in the 256th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick257
Rnd7
Omar Brown
Omar Brown in No. 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
