Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Brady Cook; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at the 250th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 54, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A quiet steal in pick 124: Anthony Belton for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at slot 159. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 198th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
