Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned 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 the Round 6 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding A.J. Epenesa by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick 19 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 56th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A tidy little value on Marist Liufau in No. 88, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Circle this one: Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 13 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They went early on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick 197 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 200th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at No. 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at the 219th overall pick is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
A wild overpay on Isaiah Davis in Round 7, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They talked themselves into Trey Knox at slot 243, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
