Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureC-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Pritchett: B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nehemiah Pritchett fell into the 202nd overall pick.

If Coleman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in the 52nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 58; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick 83, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with edge rusher open.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in Round 3, Pick 36, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent slot 126 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
They talked themselves into Brandon Coleman at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the 155th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson is a better player than Round 6, Pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Steal is underselling it; Nehemiah Pritchett at the 202nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caedan Wallace. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They went early on Jaden Crumedy in pick 213, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at slot 217. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Nice patience on Dominique Hampton, who had no business lasting to No. 245. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in pick 254 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They will replay Tylan Grable at pick No. 255 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
