Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Bishop from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Cole Bishop, the No. 130 name on the board, sitting there at pick 168 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Packers indulged a want in Wilson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
The board fumbled Taliese Fuaga all the way to No. 41, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the 57th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Payton Wilson with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 28, with Malachi Corley worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at pick 126. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
You do not let a running back like Frank Gore Jr. reach pick No. 203 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in pick 216, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Good price on Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 243, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Circle this one: Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
