Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Pritchett should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nehemiah Pritchett, the No. 142 name on the board, stolen at slot 203. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the 25th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keon Coleman in slot 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in the 88th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
Value said wait; Jarrian Jones in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 26 on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A reach for Isaiah Davis in pick 168; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 203 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Jones reach pick No. 216 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 23. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They reached a country mile for Evan Williams at No. 251, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
