Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Packers a B, Haynes and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Christian Haynes had no business being available in slot 201, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Eichenberg reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 25th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nice patience on Troy Fautanu, who had no business lasting to No. 41. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 88th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Fair-plus on Tyler Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Christian Haynes
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Haynes in pick No. 201, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A premium they did not need to pay, Javontae Jean-Baptiste a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kenny Logan Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 245. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace in slot 255 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
