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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Dallas Gant at pick 255 is 63 spots clear of where he belonged.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in slot 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in pick 88. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A curious use of the 126th pick. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Walter Rouse. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 202 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They went early on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in No. 219, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They jumped the gun on Frank Crum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
Value said wait; Dallas Gant in pick 255 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
