Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Sam Hartman at No. 251, roughly 32 spots before his name belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That Greenfield pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Vonn Bell pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They reached into another round for Braden Fiske, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 41st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A reach for Jaylen Wright in pick 65; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
No drama and no debate, DJ James went about where he belonged in slot 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They liked Christian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 127. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 168th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach slot 243 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 31, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
