Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.

Getting Cephus where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Allen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in slot 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick 88, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They paid sticker price for MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They liked Braelon Allen enough to skip the value, taking him in the 135th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slid further than he should have, and the 203rd overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Matthew Jones a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in the 219th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They read the board right and Joshua Cephus was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 26. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
