Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Sam Hartman a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at Round 2, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 51 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 83rd pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the 88th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in pick No. 119, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in the 135th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick197 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 197 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 217 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at No. 219, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
