Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 49 spots for Tanor Bortolini, and value like that does not grow back.

Getting Vaki where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in the 58th pick with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 91st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at No. 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Circle this one: Sione Vaki at Round 6, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Somehow Jaylan Ford was still sitting there in slot 216, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick243 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick 243 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
A conviction pick on Ro Torrence at the 251st pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
