Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Hayden Hatten, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bethune value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick 88 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in Round 3, Pick 28, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the 125th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 LaDarius Henderson
They reached into another round for LaDarius Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kenny Logan Jr. at Round 6, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
By-the-book stuff, Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 217 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at pick No. 248. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune slid further than he should have, and slot 255 is lovely value for the linebacker. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
