Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent slot 202 on Sam Hartman, a name most had 56 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Wilson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, tight end and other spots still on the board. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
A reach on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots to take Payton Wilson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots untouched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
They jumped the gun on Khristian Boyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at slot 202, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kimani Vidal well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
A tidy bit of business in pick 245, where Dominique Hampton graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 294
A real head-scratcher, Frank Crum in the 255th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
