Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Some picks age like wine; McCallan Castles at the 251st overall pick will need to, sitting 72 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Bullock pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman. Bullock at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They liked Xavier Worthy enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Calen Bullock while clear needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Newton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 168 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at pick 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 216th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 243, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at pick No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
