Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Sam Hartman as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Kinchens pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 3, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in slot 127 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 168 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A premium they did not need to pay, Josh Proctor a notch or two before his time. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 216 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in No. 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Lee at the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
