Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Packers let Delp fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Oscar Delp tumbling to the Packers in the 147th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

With cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They will need Grimes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In No. 22 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reach for Tate Ratledge in slot 51; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jay Higgins at linebacker with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Taking Shemar Turner in the 119th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
The board fumbled Oscar Delp all the way to pick 147, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in Round 6, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bru McCoy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
They went early on Jack Nelson in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
