Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Williams: B-.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Isaiah Williams, the No. 181 name on the board, in pick 219. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Lee lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They took Kamari Lassiter at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in slot 58, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at Round 3, Pick 25, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A premium they did not need to pay, Audric Estime a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to the 126th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Coleman at No. 169, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in the 202nd pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They robbed the room for Isaiah Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Somehow Frank Gore Jr. was still sitting there in No. 255, and they pounced on premier running back value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
