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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Sam Hartman, taking him 39 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Eichenberg is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 43 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Fair-plus on Blake Corum, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They reached a country mile for Roman Wilson at the 82nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tommy Eichenberg at linebacker with tight end and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dominic Lovett
A wild overpay on Dominic Lovett in pick 187, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at the 217th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at slot 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 230th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
