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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hayden Hatten; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 79 spots ahead at slot 257. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 25th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 41, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A straight-up fair deal on Audric Estime at the 91st pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No edge and no loss on Layden Robinson in slot 168; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 203 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 216th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at the 251st pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at pick 253 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick254 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
A big swing on Brennan Armstrong at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
