Draft Grade — Packers

FutureC+
The Packers won the night they stopped Hadden from sliding. Grade: C. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Kamal Hadden slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.
They are betting Hartman proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Hit on Amarius Mims and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 58, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 105 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ray Davis
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in Round 4, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Value with a capital V on Elijah Jones in pick 126, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at the 131st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in pick 133, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145
Rnd5
Michael Pratt
Good price on Michael Pratt in the 145th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 202nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at the 215th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Magee at pick No. 219, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick253
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They let Jalen Sundell come to them and pounced at No. 255. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
