Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in No. 51 lands the Packers a B, Wiggins and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nate Wiggins, the Round 2 slot, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Hartman reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 25th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nate Wiggins in No. 51, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in the 91st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy bit of business in pick 126, where Blake Fisher graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 178 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at No. 202 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 219th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They liked Sam Hartman enough to skip the value, taking him in the 245th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Value with a capital V on Marcellas Dial in slot 255, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
