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

The war room fell hard for Jaden Hicks, and it showed at pick 58: 27 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

With wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Milton III at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid a round early for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Hicks well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Fisher this early at No. 91. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A real head-scratcher, Mason McCormick in pick No. 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at pick 169 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at No. 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 219th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
A quiet steal in slot 255: Tarheeb Still for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
