Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tanor Bortolini at No. 168 is 49 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
A reach for Jaden Hicks in the 58th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 88th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in No. 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in the 204th pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 41, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They did well to land Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 243rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
No drama and no debate, Ryan Watts went about where he belonged in pick 251. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
