Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Packers spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Kenny Logan Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 32 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in pick 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They took Josh Newton at par in No. 127, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 32 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Jones at pick 187 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 204 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenny Logan Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in pick No. 243. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Owens at the 251st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
