Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Joshua Cephus at the 216th overall pick is 40 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Greenfield makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in No. 88, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Gray well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in pick 127, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 168th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A reach for Josh Proctor in the 204th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Cephus in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They barely believed it either: Garret Greenfield still on the board at No. 243. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at Round 7, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
