Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Reaching for Savaiinaea left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick54 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in slot 87, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They took Nohl Williams at par in the 124th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
No edge and no loss on Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 159; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 198 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in No. 237 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in the 250th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
