Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 66 spots for Dallas Gant, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 43rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 88, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They will replay MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A premium they did not need to pay, Kitan Oladapo a notch or two before his time. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They jumped the gun on Nathaniel Watson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Steal is underselling it; Trente Jones at the 245th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallas Gant well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
