Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Martinez: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Damien Martinez, slot 251, roughly 89 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Mauigoa reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 23rd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 54th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to pick No. 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cody Simon
The board had cheaper options than Cody Simon at Round 4, Pick 22, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in pick 160, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in No. 200 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 215 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick251 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Value said wait; Francisco Mauigoa in the 253rd overall pick says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
