Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Bru McCoy, 88 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They reached a country mile for Azareye'h Thomas at No. 33, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They read the board right and Elic Ayomanor was the payoff at pick 67. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 123 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 160 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They talked themselves into Francisco Mauigoa at the 239th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the 251st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
