Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

There is reaching, and then there is Hayden Hatten at the 257th pick. The Packers jumped the board by 79 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sainristil. With tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in pick No. 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in No. 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in pick 105, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
The board had cheaper options than Isaac Guerendo at slot 126, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at No. 169. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Rouse in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They reached into another round for Trente Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They talked themselves into Frank Crum at pick 225, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Value said wait; Jalen Sundell in the 245th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
Nick Gargiulo at pick No. 253 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at pick No. 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Circle this one: Ryan Watts at No. 256 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in pick 257, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
