Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Matthew Jones. He came off 50 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Cooper steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In No. 25 they get a centerfielder for the defense, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at slot 41 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to pick 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid a round early for Audric Estime in the 91st pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo slid further than he should have, and the 127th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 6, Pick 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in slot 243 is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at No. 251 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
