Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and TeSlaa: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If Hamilton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is TeSlaa.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in pick 54. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 124 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 159th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
A conviction pick on Caleb Ransaw at Round 6, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They will replay Isaac TeSlaa at slot 250 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
