Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Troy Fautanu fell into No. 41.

Reaching for Hardy left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Adding Joe Giles-Harris by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 41st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and pick 58 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They reached into another round for Tommy Eichenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick No. 169 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 202 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A reasonable price with a little left over, Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 44. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They liked Solomon Byrd enough to skip the value, taking him in the 245th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at slot 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
