Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Larceny in pick No. 245 lands the Packers a B, Torrence and all.

Somebody in the 245th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Ro Torrence, the No. 179 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Crum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 28 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at No. 126 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach for Mason McCormick in slot 134; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They jumped the gun on Ty'Ron Hopper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They will replay Tykee Smith at the 202nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 219; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
You do not let a cornerback like Ro Torrence reach pick 245 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Crum well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
