Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedA TradesF FutureC-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Solomon Tuliaupupu, and it showed at the 254th overall pick: 59 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick121 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Diego Pavia in pick No. 121, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid a round early for Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 21, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 202, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
A big swing on Bear Alexander at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 254th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
