Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for McCoy: B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Bru McCoy slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In pick 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 51st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kalen King
Nothing to complain about; Kalen King went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They will replay Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 83 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at Round 3, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 119th overall pick on Cedric Gray with quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Johnson at pick No. 142, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Theo Wease
They paid sticker price for Theo Wease in Round 5, Pick 38, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at slot 197. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
The board fumbled Joshua Gray all the way to pick 217, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Bru McCoy at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Turner Corcoran
Turner Corcoran at the 226th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes at pick No. 239 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
They liked Khordae Sydnor enough to skip the value, taking him in the 240th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
