Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 255th pick: the Packers steal Greenfield and grade out a B.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Garret Greenfield fell into the Round 7 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Bishop proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 25th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in pick 41, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in slot 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 126th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Steal is underselling it; Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Harrell at No. 202 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They robbed the room for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Somehow Myles Harden was still sitting there in slot 245, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Taking Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
