Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: 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 232nd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Monheim pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in slot 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Brian Thomas Jr. a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II slipping to No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in pick 88, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 111th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at the 189th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at the 202nd pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 42 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Fair-plus on De'Corian Clark, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in pick 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
