Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Sam Hartman at slot 202 will need to, sitting 57 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in No. 41 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at slot 88. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in the 169th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at pick No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 219th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 245 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
