Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Bertrand. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 31 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while JD Bertrand, the No. 195 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slid further than he should have, and No. 41 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 25, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at the 88th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in pick No. 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 203 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 216, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in slot 251 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
