Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Hart: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Hart got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at slot 127.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at the 58th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Wright in slot 88, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in No. 168, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in the 204th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 216, where Nathaniel Watson graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Green
They paid up for Jalen Green at slot 243 when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Circle this one: Keaton Bills at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
