Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Harris: B.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tre Harris, the No. 35 name on the board, in the Round 5 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 23rd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in slot 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach Round 5, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick 183 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They robbed the room for Bryce Foster here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
