Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

The Packers did not so much draft Trajan Jeffcoat as overpay for him, 88 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Oladapo. Spending an early pick on linebacker with running back and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They let Brian Thomas Jr. come to them and pounced at the 41st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than No. 58, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and pick 91 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A surprising call. With running back and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the 126th pick on Tommy Eichenberg, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at No. 169, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at slot 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to Round 7, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
