Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Sam Hartman at the 251st pick. The Packers jumped the board by 32 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The Packers indulged a want in Taylor-Demerson while a need in edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Braden Fiske
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in slot 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A surprising call. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent pick 88 on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Adams went about where he belonged in the 127th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in pick 168, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at pick No. 204. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the 243rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
