Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Sam Hartman went at the Round 7 slot, a good 36 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in slot 43, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 73rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at No. 82, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in pick No. 109, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A quiet steal in pick No. 135: Roman Wilson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in pick 187, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They paid up for Cody Schrader at the 217th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 219 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
