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

You build a draft on nights like this. Javon Baker had no business being available in pick No. 217, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The McGlothern pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A want over a need in the 91st overall pick: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at the 135th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 203, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in slot 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
