Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Bertrand fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while JD Bertrand, the No. 221 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good price on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in pick 58, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A reasonable price with a little left over, Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A want over a need in the 126th pick: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They jumped the gun on Jordan Jefferson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Williams in pick No. 202, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid sticker price for Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in slot 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Nice patience on Josh Proctor, who had no business lasting to No. 255. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
