Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Some picks age like wine; Hayden Hatten at the 246th overall pick will need to, sitting 55 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. However the rest shakes out, Colson at that price is a win they earned.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Nice patience on Calen Bullock, who had no business lasting to pick No. 57. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 28. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 135 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in pick 203 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 217th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathaniel Watson a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in the 246th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
