Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Packers bet big and early on Sam Hartman, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Means.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Max Melton
They jumped the gun on Max Melton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 91st pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in pick 132, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at slot 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevin Wallace a notch or two before his time. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at Round 7, Pick 25. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means is a better player than slot 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
