Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The Packers torched the value chart for Tanor Bortolini, taking him 49 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Gray pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and tight end. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at Round 1, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A wild overpay on Braelon Allen in the 91st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent No. 127 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 168 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 204 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 216th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick 243 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
By-the-book stuff, Ryan Watts at No. 251 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
