Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

When a board-topper like Daequan Hardy slides to Round 6, Pick 44, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Reaching for Grable left real value on the table behind him.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick No. 32 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the 41st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at pick No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Calen Bullock, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Steal is underselling it; Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 32: Cody Schrader for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They took Eric Watts at par in the 201st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
Circle this one: Daequan Hardy at No. 219 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They read the board right and Tyler Owens was the payoff at the 245th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 255th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
