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

Some picks age like wine; Hayden Hatten at the 245th pick will need to, sitting 82 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The McKinstry pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in slot 58. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 84th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at pick No. 91, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 126th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at No. 170, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at slot 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick239 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A real head-scratcher, C.J. Hanson in the 239th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in Round 7, Pick 25 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick No. 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
