Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent Round 6, Pick 30 on Hayden Conner, a name most had 61 spots down the list.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Belton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 30 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A wild overpay on Darien Porter in No. 54, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nohl Williams in the 87th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They read the board right and Anthony Belton was the payoff at the 124th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
They took Caleb Rogers at par in the 198th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Conner well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Corey Brooks. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
