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

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Hayden Hatten, 82 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Tampa falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The veteran additions, Fred Warner chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 25th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to pick No. 57. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 28, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in slot 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at pick 135, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
By-the-book stuff, Sam Hartman at the 203rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in pick 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at Round 6, Pick 44 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus slipping to slot 246 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
