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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Bullard tumbling to the Packers in No. 88 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Prince to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 25th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Nice patience on Bo Nix, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Javon Bullard in pick 88, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jermaine Burton in the 91st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 DJ James
Good price on DJ James in No. 97, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
The board had Jordan Magee higher than slot 169, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 202nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 219. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Deantre Prince
A conviction pick on Deantre Prince at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
No drama and no debate, Frank Crum went about where he belonged in pick 255. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
