Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Sam Hartman at the 219th pick is 40 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Melton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They liked Junior Colson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 41. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Payton Wilson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick88 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They read the board right and Renardo Green was the payoff at pick No. 88. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in No. 91. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They took Malik Mustapha at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A straight-up fair deal on Rasheen Ali at No. 202, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in the 245th overall pick, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell slipping to slot 255 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
