Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

Nobody had Sam Hartman this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 40 spots to get him at the 219th pick.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Barrett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Taliese Fuaga that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 16th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Good price on Adisa Isaac in pick 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 91, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 102nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at slot 118 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 169th pick that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 4 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They took Kendall Milton at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at No. 219, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 255th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
