Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Christian Haynes at No. 41 is 24 spots clear of where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and quarterback went begging. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Dial to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Hit on Graham Barton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in pick No. 25, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Hicks this early at the 63rd pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Will Shipley
The board had cheaper options than Will Shipley at pick 91, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick No. 124, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in pick 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at slot 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in No. 202, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A straight-up fair deal on Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 44, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 245th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Value with a capital V on Marcellas Dial in the 255th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
