Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Newton fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Newton had no business being available in pick No. 216, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 25th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A premium they did not need to pay, Ruke Orhorhoro a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in pick No. 58, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 25: Cooper Beebe for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in the 127th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like McKinnley Jackson reach slot 168 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 204 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Newton
Taking Josh Newton in No. 216 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Circle this one: Garret Greenfield at pick No. 243 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
