Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Fautanu. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Troy Fautanu got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick 41.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Bortolini left real value on the table behind him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick No. 126, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick 202. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They paid a round early for Eric Watts in Round 6, Pick 44, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They took Josh Proctor at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bub Means at the 255th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
