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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Javion Cohen at No. 125 is 24 spots clear of where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and tight end went begging. Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They went early on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 41, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Newton in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in slot 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A big swing on Javion Cohen at pick 125, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 203 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor at the 217th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Miyan Williams at the 219th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in slot 246, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
