Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Hadden: B-.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kamal Hadden, the No. 168 name on the board, in the 202nd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Vidal pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reach for Patrick Paul in No. 58; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at slot 91, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A tidy bit of business in pick 126, where Matt Goncalves graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They went early on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 202nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in slot 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They paid sticker price for Tyler Owens in pick 255, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
