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

The Cedric Gray pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 35 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Greenfield where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in pick No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Hall Jr. in No. 58, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A big swing on Cedric Gray at pick 91, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They robbed the room for Braelon Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A wild overpay on Jaylan Ford in slot 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They went early on Josh Proctor in the 204th pick, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Wiley at the 216th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at No. 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
The board had cheaper options than De'Corian Clark at Round 7, Pick 31, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
