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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Hayden Hatten. He came off 55 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Davis pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in No. 41, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 57 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in slot 88 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They talked themselves into Javion Cohen at the 125th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 135 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
The board fumbled Isaiah Davis all the way to slot 203, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman slipping to pick No. 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They will replay De'Corian Clark at the 219th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A wild overpay on Hayden Hatten in pick 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
