Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Frank Gore Jr.. He came off 73 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Colson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in the 41st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 D.J. James
They did well to land D.J. James in pick No. 82, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 109th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 187 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at pick No. 217, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 219th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
