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

The needs board said one thing and the Packers did another, using No. 126 on Cedric Gray while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots waited. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Gray value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 88th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A curious use of No. 126. Edge rusher, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
