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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 28 spots for Evan Anderson, and value like that does not grow back.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Austin Booker in the 88th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to pick 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Magee this early at No. 202. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They let Julian Pearl come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They barely believed it either: Sheridan Jones still on the board at slot 245. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached a country mile for Evan Anderson at pick No. 255, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
