Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Roger Rosengarten; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at the 135th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Braswell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Chop Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They barely believed it either: Jonathon Brooks still on the board at pick No. 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 91st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javion Cohen this early at slot 125. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They took Kenny Logan Jr. at par in pick 203, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights slipping to No. 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 219th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
They reached into another round for Brennan Armstrong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
