Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Nobody had Desmond Evans this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 54 spots to get him at the 219th overall pick.

The Clark pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at pick 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach the 51st overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in No. 58. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonathon Brooks in slot 83. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to pick No. 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at slot 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Circle this one: Cedric Gray at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They barely believed it either: Jaylan Ford still on the board at the 171st overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in pick No. 197, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They will replay Joshua Gray at Round 6, Pick 42 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd6 Desmond Evans
A real head-scratcher, Desmond Evans in No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 228 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
