Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Jennings: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ali Jennings slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 232nd pick. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in the 39th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A real head-scratcher, Denzel Burke in No. 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at slot 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at pick 82 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 135th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They will replay Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
A big swing on Aki Ogunbiyi at the 194th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They let Brevyn Spann-Ford come to them and pounced at pick 217. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 44, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
Ali Jennings at slot 232 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
