Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Tampa fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somebody in the 88th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while T.J. Tampa, the No. 58 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 41. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Hicks at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in pick 88 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the 91st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
