Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 255 is 33 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They liked Junior Colson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 41. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They did well to land Calen Bullock in the 88th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 91, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
No drama and no debate, Kamal Hadden went about where he belonged in pick 169. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 202. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
