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

Some picks age like wine; Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 25 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Perry.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than slot 41, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at the 57th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in No. 91, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at pick No. 125. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommy Eichenberg in pick 135. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, De'Corian Clark in slot 203. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at the 217th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in pick No. 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry is a better player than the 256th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
