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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Ja'Lynn Polk, the No. 55 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 88.

They will need Thomas to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Nice patience on Tyler Nubin, who had no business lasting to the 41st pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They robbed the room for Ja'Lynn Polk here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Javon Bullard, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in pick No. 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A tidy little value on Jaylen Wright in the 168th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 203rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 41 is the proof. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in No. 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Daequan Hardy in the 251st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
