Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. Some picks age like wine; Hayden Hatten at pick 248 will need to, sitting 88 spots clear of his grade. Put together, it is a D-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 27th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick28
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 28 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at the 58th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
They barely believed it either: Jaden Hicks still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in pick No. 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 99 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 105 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in the 110th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick126
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 126 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Mustapha in the Round 5 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the 144th overall pick with a little surplus value in Elijah Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153
Rnd5
Myles Cole
No drama and no debate, Myles Cole went about where he belonged in pick 153. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
No edge and no loss on Dallin Holker in No. 157; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at Round 5, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 164th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jordan Magee
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Magee in slot 169. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170
Rnd5
James Williams
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick171
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick No. 171 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at the 172nd overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Taking Cornelius Johnson in pick 200 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamal Hadden in pick No. 202, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 220th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
A wild overpay on Jowon Briggs in No. 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
A conviction pick on Dylan McMahon at the 230th pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum in slot 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jennings. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
A big swing on Jarrett Kingston at No. 245, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at Round 7, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 255th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256
Rnd7
Omar Brown
Omar Brown in pick No. 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin Culp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Culp in the 257th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
