Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Baker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Javon Baker, the No. 95 name on the board, stolen at the 127th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 25 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They did well to land Austin Booker in slot 88, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A clean, defensible pick in No. 91 with a little surplus value in Blake Corum. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 168th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
By-the-book stuff, Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
The board had Nathan Thomas higher than the 216th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Somehow Michael Barrett was still sitting there in the 243rd pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Taking Austin Reed in No. 251 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
