Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 255th overall pick: the Packers steal Watts and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Watts got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 255th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Reaching for Okie-Anoma left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid a round early for Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 58, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 3, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A reasonable price with a little left over, Calen Bullock in slot 91. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A reach on Christian Jones in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 169 that the board grades a round light. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A slide stopped in the 202nd pick, with Isaiah Williams worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at Round 6, Pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in pick 245 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ryan Watts in slot 255, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
