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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sam Hartman, 40 picks early at slot 243. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Robinson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Taking Chop Robinson in pick No. 41 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They reached into another round for McKinnley Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A clean, defensible pick in No. 91 with a little surplus value in Blake Corum. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 4, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 168th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A slide stopped in No. 204, with Daequan Hardy worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Nothing to complain about; JD Bertrand went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A reach on Dylan McMahon in slot 251; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
