Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Coleman fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jonah Coleman, the No. 145 name on the board, stolen at No. 186.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Jones Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In the 16th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at the 47th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Kandra at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick No. 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at No. 150 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at slot 186 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 34, where Anthony Belton graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
