Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Nick Nash, 26 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

However the rest shakes out, Hampton at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 23 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 54th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in the 124th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at Round 5, Pick 21 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Rogers at No. 198 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 237th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
