Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Rouse from sliding. Grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Walter Rouse slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 202nd pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Gray pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at slot 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 58 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A reach for Christian Mahogany in pick 88; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
The board had cheaper options than Cole Bishop at the 91st pick, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 26 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the 169th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Rouse in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 35: Josh Proctor for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
