Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Fuaga from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Taliese Fuaga, No. 49, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The cost of the Bortolini reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at the 49th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 58. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at pick No. 88 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in No. 91, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 James Williams
Steal is underselling it; James Williams at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in pick 169 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 245. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in pick No. 255, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
