Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Packers let McCoy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bru McCoy got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on safety with tight end and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
A quiet steal in pick 36: Kamren Kinchens for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in pick No. 41, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Javon Bullard while clear needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick83
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson is a better player than No. 83 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 3, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 97th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Value with a capital V on Bucky Irving in the 102nd pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 119th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar Turner. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 172 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 181st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217
Rnd6
Zion Nelson
Fair-plus on Zion Nelson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Somehow Bru McCoy was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 44, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
No edge and no loss on Cody Schrader in Round 7, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
