Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Hopper. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ty'Ron Hopper, the No. 181 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 27. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A conviction pick on Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st overall pick that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in pick 169, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
