Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 219 on Josh Proctor, a name the board had a full 25 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barton.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A clean, defensible pick in the 169th overall pick with a little surplus value in Marist Liufau. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the 202nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Proctor in No. 219, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bub Means
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bub Means. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
By-the-book stuff, Solomon Byrd at Round 7, Pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
