Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Nobody else had Sam Hartman anywhere near the 251st pick. The Packers did, by 32 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That Paul pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 88th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 4, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Nathaniel Watson at pick 204, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid a round early for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick No. 216, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Logan Lee
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Lee. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at slot 251 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
