Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Hayden Conner went at Round 7, Pick 21, a good 30 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hairston. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 23 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the 54th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in pick 87, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They let Anthony Belton come to them and pounced at No. 124. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 159th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
They paid sticker price for Thomas Fidone II in Round 6, Pick 22, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 237th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A premium they did not need to pay, Hunter Wohler a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
