Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Hardy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Daequan Hardy tumbling to the Packers in pick 249 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to pick 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Renardo Green in No. 125. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Value with a capital V on Dallin Holker in slot 168, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in pick 201: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at pick No. 219 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Owens at No. 245. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
You do not let a cornerback like Daequan Hardy reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Steal is underselling it; Trevin Wallace at slot 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
