Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Packers let Harden fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Myles Harden, the No. 209 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 35. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Bortolini has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 28 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the 88th pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at the 126th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They did well to land Roger Rosengarten in No. 140, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 5, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at slot 163, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A reach on Khristian Boyd in the 169th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
A tidy little value on Daijun Edwards in pick No. 192, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at Round 6, Pick 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in pick 227 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Jordan Magee worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at No. 245 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at pick No. 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
