Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Davis. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Isaiah Davis sat on the board until No. 201, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

The Bishop reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in pick 41, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 25. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in slot 91, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 125 on James Williams with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in the 168th pick: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Isaiah Davis in the 201st overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 219th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
