Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Blake Watson, 27 picks ahead of schedule. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In slot 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 9 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in No. 58, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick 88, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kalen King
A conviction pick on Kalen King at the 127th pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 29; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
No edge and no loss on Tyrice Knight in pick 216; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Good price on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 243rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 251st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
