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

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Hayden Hatten went at the 246th pick, a good 55 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Getting Smith-Wade where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at No. 41, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They did well to land Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A clean, defensible pick in the 125th overall pick with a little surplus value in Isaiah Adams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
They barely believed it either: Chau Smith-Wade still on the board at pick 203. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at No. 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
By-the-book stuff, Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A big swing on Hayden Hatten at the 246th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
