Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
D-
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC-
The Packers won the night they stopped Hampton from sliding. Grade: D-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, the 119th overall pick, roughly 83 picks past where he belonged. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 24th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Travis Hunter
Somehow Travis Hunter was still sitting there in pick 55, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
They will replay Abdul Carter at No. 56 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 119 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 120th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
DJ Uiagalelei
The board fumbled DJ Uiagalelei all the way to the 151st pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Benjamin Yurosek
They barely believed it either: Benjamin Yurosek still on the board at No. 152. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Collin Oliver
Steal is underselling it; Collin Oliver at slot 155 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick183
Rnd6
Zach Rice
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Rice. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd7
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 202 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213
Rnd7
Zane Durant
Nice patience on Zane Durant, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 21. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor in pick 215 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216
Rnd7
Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy at Round 7, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217
Rnd7
Carson Hinzman
Carson Hinzman at pick No. 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
