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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Sam Hartman in pick No. 219.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A slide stopped in slot 25, with Olumuyiwa Fashanu worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in pick No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 26. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at the 88th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Steal is underselling it; Kiran Amegadjie at the 91st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dominick Puni reach No. 125 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They let Cody Schrader come to them and pounced at the 168th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They barely believed it either: Malik Mustapha still on the board at No. 201. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in slot 219 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They went early on Tatum Bethune in pick 245, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kenny Logan Jr. in the 255th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
