Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Hampton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Means. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 88, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
The board had Michael Hall Jr. higher than the 91st overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Jarrian Jones a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A reach for Khristian Boyd in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They went early on Dominique Hampton in the 219th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
A tidy bit of business in slot 255, where Bub Means graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
