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-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
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.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni in pick No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at slot 91, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 115
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.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
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.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 168
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.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
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.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
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.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
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.
