Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul 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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Washington value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Fair-plus on Byron Murphy II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They liked Ruke Orhorhoro enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 41. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at No. 88 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 91st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 127, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No edge and no loss on Javion Cohen in pick No. 168; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A conviction pick on Garret Greenfield at the 204th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 243rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in Round 7, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
