Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cost of the Hamilton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Campbell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to slot 54. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in pick 87. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at Round 6, Pick 22 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach for Ty Hamilton in the 237th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They liked Hunter Wohler enough to skip the value, taking him in the 250th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
