Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Green: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Renardo Green, the No. 71 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 4 slot.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. With edge rusher, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley slipping to slot 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A surprising call. With edge rusher, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the 131st pick on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than pick 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The board fumbled Tyrone Tracy Jr. all the way to slot 159, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 James Williams
They went early on James Williams in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in the 169th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kimani Vidal
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 202 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Steal is underselling it; Myles Harden at pick 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 255th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
