Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Cedric Gray this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 24 spots to get him at the 91st pick.

Tracy Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 25th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They took Tyler Nubin at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A tidy little value on Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Nothing to complain about; Myles Cole went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick No. 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 255th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
