Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Isaiah Davis as overpay for him, 29 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Oladapo. It is not that Green is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in No. 41. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Nothing to complain about; Calen Bullock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
A surprising call. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 91 on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to pick 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A reach on Garret Greenfield in the 202nd pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A reasonable price with a little left over, Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Reed well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
They let Jalen Sundell come to them and pounced at the 255th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
