Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Packers chose the head-scratcher, spending the Round 2 slot on Javon Bullard with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still wide open. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Allen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In slot 25 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Bullard adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in No. 88. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 91 with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 127 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 168th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A reach for Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 216th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at pick No. 243 that the board grades a round light. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremy Flax. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
