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

Nobody else had John Emery Jr. anywhere near pick 219. The Packers did, by 124 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to slot 88. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in No. 135. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Wiley
Michael Wiley is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in slot 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. at pick No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
