Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 31 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Hicks makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the 58th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaden Hicks in pick 88. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 168 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
The board had cheaper options than Myles Murphy at the 204th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 216th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Solomon Byrd well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
