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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent the 240th overall pick on Hayden Hatten, a name most had 81 spots down the list.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 19th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 41, where Jordan Morgan graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 51, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 83rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 29: Marist Liufau adds a linebacker while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Junior Colson at linebacker with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A tidy little value on Moose Muhammad III in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They barely believed it either: Sam Hartman still on the board at No. 197. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Neyor at the 217th pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A quiet steal in the 219th overall pick: Jawhar Jordan for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at slot 240, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
